Description

The Propeller Nebula, also catalogued as Simeis 57 is an emission nebula that is part of the Cygnus X complex  The southern "arm" is catalogued as DWB111 while the northern arm is DWB119. This whole area is very rich in HII regions and has a strong response with an Ha filter. The Cynus X complex lies around 4600 light years from Earth. On the upper left corner there is a very interesting small planetary nebula. Had I known it was there I would have framed this differently or done a mosaic. Its designation is PM1-320 and there are few amateur images of it. It was discovered in the 1980s. Unfortunately it falls in the very corner of my image, where the stars are worse (I have a spacer to add to my imaging train, according to NINA my backfocus is still a bit off).
