Description:

Sh2 -119 is a diffuse nebula observable in the constellation Cygnus . Its shape appears similar to two shells that are arranged to the east and west of 68 Cygni; the eastern part is the largest. In the southern part, thin filaments and cocoons of dark nebulosity are visible , which contrast strongly with both the brightness of the nebula and the rich background star field. The distance of Sh2-119 is estimated at 2200 light-years from us.
