SH2101
About this celestial object
SH2-101, the Tulip in Cygnus, glows as a delicate arc of emission in a sea of stars.
SH2-101 is an H II region in Cygnus, known as the Tulip Nebula for its outline.
In the humid July night (73 %), the nebular bloom appears as a gentle reddish glow against a dense stellar backdrop.
259 short exposures raise the contrast of the faint structures without blowing out the stars.
