Sh2-115 & Sh2-116 Emission Nebulae in Cygnus
Sh2-115 is a faint emission nebula, included in the Sharpless catalog since 1959. It is located in Cygnus, very close to Deneb, the brightest star in that constellation.
Sh2-116, also known as Abell 71, is the nebula at the bottom of this image. Although it is also known as PK85 + 4.1. This designation was given for its appearance as a planetary nebula, but more recently it has been revealed to be a small emission nebula.
I have done the image processing in Pixinsight.
