Description

2 nights of data before the clouds move in for a few days.

Sh2-114 is a complex and unusual HII emission nebula.
Its complex, wispy structure is probably the result of winds from hot, massive stars interacting with the magnetic fields in the interstellar medium.
However very little is known about it.
