Description:
Sh2-114 in Cygnus is an extremely faint emission nebula in the Cygnus Milky Way. It is known as the Flying Dragon Nebula, as its wispy twisted shapes resemble a flying dragon with outstretched bat-like wings, a serpentine neck, and two aptly placed yellow stars for glowing eyes on its face. It is an unusual emission nebula that is thought to be sculpted by a combination of intense stellar winds emitted by massive, hot, O and B stars interacting with magnetic fields within the interstellar medium. The body of the dragon is also designated Lynds Bright Nebula 347. Exposures: Ha:R:G:B= 1290:35:35:60 minutes = 23 hours, 35 minutes total exposure at f/7.5.
