Description

Commonly known as the propeller nebula, the propeller shape at the centre of the image actually consists of two catalogued parts: DWB 111 & DWB 119.  The larger complex surrounding the nebula is known as Simeis 57.  There is an interesting little OIII "swirl" right at the top of the image (just left of centre) that seems worthy of further investigation...

The Simeis Catalog was created in the 1950s by the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Simeis, Ukraine.  This catalog is focused on HII regions and documented 306 of them.  The DWB catalog was compiled by H. R. Dickel, H. Wendker and J. H. Bieritz cataloging 193 distinct objects as part of their study of H-alpha emission nebula in the Cygnus X region of the sky.
