Description

I'm definitely ready for Nebula Season. This image was captured in the very early hours of the morning when Cygnus was rising in the East - but the loss of sleep was worth it

Sh2-119 is a large emission nebula, about 2200 light-years from Earth. Due to its apparent size, it's a nice choice for shorter focal length telescopes.
