Description

DWB 111, also known as the Propeller Nebula is a hydrogen-alpha emission nebula in Cygnus. The propeller shape is actually a small portion of a much larger emission nebula, which can be seen as faint red hydrogen-alpha nebulosity throughout the image frame. The distance to the nebula is not known. The smaller HII region below is DWB 107.

The DWB catalog is a list of HII regions in the western half of the Cygnus X region. It

contains about 90 objects and was compiled by H.R. Dickel, H. Wendker and J.H. Bieritz of Vermillion River Observatory in 1968.
