Description

This was captured over 5 nights and was a fun region to shoot, especially as the O3 started to come out more and more. 

Sharpless 101
 (Sh2-101) is a H II region[1]emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is sometimes also called the Tulip Nebula because it appears to resemble the outline of a tulip when imaged photographically. It was catalogued by astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalog of nebulae. It lies at a distance of about 6,000 light-years (5.7×1016 km; 3.5×1016 mi) from Earth.
