Description

This region of sky in Cygnus contains a vast complex of nebulae.  It is a combined emission/reflection nebula lying in the region of NGC 6914.  vdB 132 is the central blue star surrounded by reflecting material.  Ultraviolet radiation from the young, hot blue stars has ionized hydrogen in the region, producing the red glow surrounding the blue inner region that reflects starlight.  Other dust permeates the darker region toward the middle.
