Description

Sh2-114, the Flying Dragon Nebula, is a very faint wispy collection of hydrogen alpha in the Cygnus region of the sky. Not to much is known about this nebula as it has not been studied in detail and not a common target for astrophotography.

who knows how long the "Dragon" will be flying for as we have no known measurements of distance to this nebula. The illusiveness and little information on the target is what really got me to image it. I like the unknowns within this target.

It was very faint and took 21 hours of Ha data to bring out the structure to some detail, worth every minute for me! I really enjoyed processing this image and watching the Dragon slowly start to appear before my eyes!

Thank you for looking!

Dan.
