Description

Data captured during 3 nights in August 2022.
Tulip nebula (Sh2-101) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. It's a part of Cygnus star cloud, located roughly 6000 light-years from Earth. Many open star clusters and stellar associations can be seen, as well as dark nebulae and hydrogen bow shocks, created by interaction of stellar winds and surrounding nebulosity. Cygnus X-1 binary system, a well-known bright X-ray source, consisting of O9.7 Iab star and a black hole, can be seen next to Tulip nebula.
