The image of Sh2-114, (and 113) known as the "Flying Dragon Nebula," is a stunning example of cosmic artistry. The intricate red filaments of ionized hydrogen stretch across the field, resembling the fiery wings of a mythical dragon. The interplay of glowing red nebular gas against the dark, star-filled background creates a sense of depth, highlighting the delicate, web-like structures sculpted by stellar winds and magnetic fields.

Astronomically, Sh2-114 is a Sharpless catalog emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. Its fiery hues stem from hydrogen atoms energized by ultraviolet radiation from nearby stars. This nebula’s complexity reflects the dynamic forces at play, and the  only  emission from these nebulae is in Ha frequency (check this link for a comprehensive explanation) and so is the "clouds" around the objects. 

Directly above the right wing, halfway between the wing and the edge of the frame, is a planetary nebula. This is cataloged as Kronberger (Kn26), and it is a bipolar emission nebula. Kn26 is a small (110 arc seconds) planetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus. Kn26 was discovered by Austrian amateur astronomer Matthias Kronberger in 2006, although it wasn't spectroscopically confirmed as a planetary nebula until 2011. In 2012 it was established that it was a new member of the very small sub-class of quadupolar planetary nebulae.The image of Sh2-114, (and 113) known as the "Flying Dragon Nebula," is a stunning example of cosmic artistry.
