Well, I have worked my way down the Sh2 list and this is in there. I thought I had missed it but finally came across almost exactly the same image on the Italian Wikipedia site (they have the best images):
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh2-85
It is the tiny bit of cloudiness to the right of the central star (this fits with the location in TSX.
This is the translation of the Italian:
Sh2-85 is a small H II region visible in the constellation of Lyra.
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. [4]
Slight clipping change.
Drizzle integration of 55 HAx1800s subframes.... probably see Ha slightly better but you need optimism.
Placing 500x500 pixel images up on all my small objects to get scale correct.
