Sh2-115 - a jewel box of delights

About this image

This is a combination of data from the nights of 1-2 June and 4-5 June. I've been working my way around interesting objects in Cygnus that suit the close-up view from my f/10 14inch SCT. Sharpless 2-115 isn't just the typical red nebulosity of many regions around Deneb and Sadr in Cygnus, the stars in the field of view are themselves a colourful jewel box of their own, well worth observing.
