SH2-106 (Sharpless 106 )

This is a tiny Sharpless object that does well with normal color filters, although a bit of exposure time is still needed. The Hydrogen Alpha picks up nebula around the brighter area. I tried narrowband color with the Oxygen III but the channel was weak not showing much with the size telescope I had. Maybe a larger one will do better at that. As you can see in this image, this little nebula has a lot of nebula around it. Not surprised being in the heart of Cygnus the swan.
