Description

An interesting and impressive region of Cygnus.  A planetary nebula (SH2-116...Abell 71) along with a breathtaking 20' background of the diffuse nebula SH2-115 are easily captured together.  This target was previously unknown to me and just sitting up there waiting to be imaged.  Many gorgeous and colorful variations of this region are presented in the Astrobin gallery.
