Sharpless 2 objects 112, 115 and 116 from the city of Sofia

Revision title: Final Version

I present my latest project - Sharpless 2 - 115. The Sharpless objects are quire interesting and I tend to image them often lately. I collected my data in May and June when it wasn't cloudy. Unfortunately during this time of the year I get very few clear nights at my location.

SH2-115 is situated in the constellation Cygnus and the area around it turned out to be quite interesting. There is a lot of HA in the vicinity with quite spectacular shapes resembling wisps, veils, waves and sky clouds from Earth. The area is also dominated by the Milky Way so I had to reduce the stars in order for the interesting nebula to pop-out.

On the image you can see the following objects:
- SH2-115 - in the center - a dynamic cloud full of pillars and other interesting formations.
- SH2-116 - above SH2-115 - a small patch of nebulosity that resembles a planetary nebula.
- SH2-112 - to the right - a bigger cloud of HA which is glowing under the effect of the star in the center - BD +45 3216.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
