Description

Very difficult to capture and even harder to process. 

Sh2 -114 is a faint emission nebula visible in the constellation Cygnus.

It is located in the north-eastern part of the constellation about 2° north-west of the star Cygni;  the most suitable period for its observation in the evening sky falls between the months of July and

December and is considerably easier for observers located in the regions of the Earth's northern hemisphere.

Sh2-114 is a very little studied cloud beyond its mere cataloguing, with a filamentary appearance and apparently made up of several overlapping arcuate filaments; It has a semicircle shape with the concavity oriented towards the south and appears to constitute, together with the nearby Sh2-113 cloud, a bubble structure similar to a supernova remnant. However, no supernova remnant has ever been described in this region.
