Description

Sh2-112 is faint emission nebula cataloged by S.Sharpless in 1959.  They are in Cygnus, just 1 and 2 degrees northwest of Deneb, the brightest star of that constellation. The brightest parts of the Sharpless nebulae can be glimpsed visually, but it takes a dark sky and a decent rich-field telescope.
