Description

This image was just an interesting area I grabbed a few hours on when I was troubleshooting my imaging rig.

From Wikipedia: 
NGC 6914 is a reflection nebula located approximately 6,000 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus, and was discovered by Édouard Stephan on August 29, 1881. Ultraviolet radiation from stars in the Cygnus OB2 association ionize the nebula's hydrogen.
