Stars and Starless combine - PixInsight. Final finishing  - Photoshop.  RGB calibration - eXcalibrator. Annotation - PixInsight, Aladin (Simbad and NED), and PhotoShop. This image is a  modified HOO narrow band mapping with RGB stars.  Images processed at 3354 x 2529 resolution. Final Image size is approximately  2800 x 2100.

North is up in this image.  This image field is the Sharpless 2-112 Region - it is pretty much central to the larger Cygnus Region. Sharpless 2-112 is the bright nebula in the upper portion of this image. Sharpless 2-112 is loosely also known as Cederblad 181, LBN 337, and DWB 174. The smaller and somewhat separate structure in the upper right of Sharpless 2-112 is DWB 175 . Emission regions of LBN 330 and DWB 169 are in the lower part of this image. Some of the dark nebulae from the Dobashi and LBN catalogs are seen in this image field.  These object and some of the brighter stars are seen in the annotated image. This image replaces an earlier image in the archives here.  The Vertical FOV is  approximately 88arc minutes. Image scale of the full size image is 1.88 arc seconds per pixel.

Image center is located approximately - Equatorial 2000: RA: 20h 34m 00.8s Dec: +45°16'31"
