This is a bit less imaged object in Cygnus. It is a bright nebula,SH-2-116, with a planetary nebula, Pln 85+4.1 in the field.
It is not the brightest of objects but it is interesting and there is a lot of dust surrounding it as well. The planetary nebula shows nicely as a red round ball in the upper right.
Hope you like it. It was my 2nd object for July and the conditions were very good most of the time. This was taken over two nights with the TEC-140 and the ML8300 camera on the AP-900 mount at LAAS site in Lockwood Valley, Ca.

Yeah, that's pretty nice framing and imaging. Thanks for sharing.

Nice catch, Floyd! I almost feel compelled to stretch the heck out of the data to bring out more of the faint stuff wink
