Description

A short run for this object which unlike many nebulae and asterisms does resemble a propeller!
My aim was to blend the very rich HII emission with RGB stars and leave it there. Little seems to be known about this object including the star responsible for ionisation and its distance which may be around 1500 ly. The catalogue name stands for Dickel, Wendker, Bieritz (A catalogue of optically visible HII regions in the Cygnus X region)

Hope you like this version
