Description

Sh2-101, the Tulip Nebula from the balcony. Miraculously, the weather has been clear the entire week. ;-)
Glad that the faint arc also made it into the image. The weather allowed to add stars in RGB with a second session the following night.
Looking forward to observing again from darker places instead of inside the city.

From Wikipedia:
Sharpless 101 (Sh2-101) is a H II region emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is sometimes also called the Tulip Nebula because it appears to resemble the outline of a tulip when imaged photographically. It was catalogued by astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalog of nebulae. It lies at a distance of about 6,000 light-years (5.7×1016 km; 3.5×1016 mi) from Earth.
