Sh2-119 is an emission nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. It is located about 2 degrees west of the North America Nebula, 9 degrees west of the bright star Deneb and seems to envelop the star 68 Cygni in the center of the image. Its distance from earth is estimated at 2200 light years. A planetary nebula, cataloged as Wein 2-245, is located just below and right of 68 Cygni. (UPDATED: As pointed out by Dana Patchick in the comments below, Wein 2-245 is an HII region and not a planetary nebula.)

I encourage you to take a moment to view the image in full resolution on a quality monitor and experience the maximum deep space effect. Thanks.

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.
