Description

Sharpless 2-115 is a large nebula located approximately 7,500 light-years away, mostly hydrogen with very dim clouds of OIII and more prominent SII.

SH2-116 is a small nebula that is also known as Abell 71 and sits not from the bright star Deneb in Cygnus. This object was first classified as a planetary nebula but recent studies show it to be an HII region instead.
