Description

This image shows the region centered about Sh2-114 and Sh2-113 (also known as LBN 347 and LBN 333 respectively).  This  region has nebulous structures almost exclusively in the Hydrogen-Alpha emission line. LBN 346 is also prominent in the upper part of this field. The Hydrogen-Alpha nebulosity is predominant in this image, but there  are some smaller or background objects  that show through these emission structures. Galaxies UGC 11726 and 2MFGC 16150 are very small and can only be seen in the full size or annotated image - they are 340 and 341 million light years distant (respectively). There is also the planetary nebula Kronberger 26 (distance 7,324 light years by parallax measurement). It is seen in this image in only Hydrogen-Alpha emission (the only emission line filter used in this image).   These objects and some of the brighter stars are identified in the annotated image.
