https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh2-85It is the tiny bit of cloudiness to the right of the central star (this fits with the location in TSX.

It is located in the southern part of constellation, on the border with Vulpecula; is extremely weak and turns with difficulty even in long exposure. The most popular time for his remark in the evening sky falls between June and November; his declination moderately borealis causes can be observed more easily from the regions North of the Equator.
This is a very weak H II region located on the Orion arm about 400 parsecs (1300 light years) from the solar system,[2] at the large schools Dark dust mask the milky way towards Vulpecula, although this Nebula is a Galactic latitude decidedly highest; It receives the ionizing radiation of HD 177347, a Blue-White Star of spectral class B8 having an apparent magnitude of 6.99.
