Description

Our 9th deep sky target, imaged by the French AstroDarkTeam composed of Stephane Rolland and Pascal Gouraud from the beautiful  and efficient Astro ARO remote observatory in Portugal.  
Noted in the 1959 catalog by astronomer Stewart Sharpless, Sh2-115 is a faint emission nebula.Sharpless 115 is located just north and west of Deneb, the alpha star of the constellation Cygnus. This emission nebula lies along the edge of one of the outer Milky Way's giant molecular clouds, about 7,500 light-years away. Hot stars in star cluster Berkeley 90 power the nebular glow. The cluster stars are likely only 100 million years old.

The small blue object, is Abell 71. This nebula is also cataloged as PK 085+04.1, PN G084.9+04.4 or Sh 2-116. Initially cataloged as a planetary nebula, the object is now recognized as a small patch of HII emission.

Technical details
Total exposure of 67 hours and 45 minutes have been integrated between April 25th and June 27th .24,5 hours for HA, 19,75 hours for OIII and 21,5 hours for SII allows us to obtain this image which offering a wide palette of colors, contrast and details.
For stars, we integrated 2 hours with RGB filters
