Sh2-114 or Flying Dragon Nebula

Revision title: Second AAPOD2 on this week

SH2-114, better known as the “Flying Dragon Nebula,” is a very faint H2 emission nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. Also cataloged as LBN 347, it is part of a larger complex that includes SH2-113. Also called the “Red Dragon Nebula.”This large curving filamentary structure appears to be part of a supernova, but no supernova remnant has yet been identified as the source. The shape of the nebula is most often seen as a winged dragon or bat. This structure seems to have been formed by a combination of intense stellar winds emitted by massive, hot, O and B stars interacting with magnetic fields within the interstellar medium.It is certainly not a common target for Astrophotography and is too faint for visual observation.Directly above the head, , is a planetary nebula. This is cataloged as Kronberger (Kn) 26, and it is a bipolar emission nebula.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
