NGC 6914 and The Gamma Cygni Region (annotated view)

Description

This is the third of 4 images to my newly processed mosaic that I am releasing shortly. Data acquired last season from my backyard observatory in Fremont, Michigan using a QHY11 Monochrome CCD/Takahashi E-180. Visible in this image are the Hot Young Stars of Cygnus OB2 associated with reflection and emission Nebula NGC 6914 (VdB 31, VdB 32)

Dark Nebula Barnard 346, IC1318a and b which are a part of the much larger HII region and Gamma Cygni Nebula

DWB-111 otherwise known as The Propeller Nebula.

I created my own annotated view you can see here.
