Description

It doesn't show up an any annotation I do no matter what catalogs I throw at it. Tried NGC-IC,
Messier, LBN, plus plate solving in Astrobin. 

COORDINATES of the object

Mostly only visible in Ha. Sometimes not even easy to see in Ha. 

There's a possibly associated (or connected) bit at 
21h 40m 16s
+56° 35′ 55″ :

and a few other (possibly not connected or associated) bits of hydrogen around it: associated of possibly connected nebs.jpg

2 hours 20 min during moon with H-Alpha and OIII filter, Bortle 2.5, rural North East Oregon farm. 

Shot with OSC camera, ZWO ASI2600MC Pro, with Optolong L-Ultimate filter. Assigned Ha to Red, assigned OIII to Green and Blue. 
Mostly followed this Dylan O'Donnell tutorial:

See revision B for my (slight wider crop) plate solving with these catalogs added: 
NGC-IC
Messier 
LBN

(Thing I circled still doesn't show)

"It's not obvious that the little H2 region has a designation, but it looks like the dark molecular cloud that hides part of it and produces the "V" shape has several":

Thank you.
