Description

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.
