SH2-114 (Sharpless 114 )

This object is the better one when compared with Sh2-113 which is right next door. This nebula responds very well to the hydrogen-alpha filter and picks up color using RGB filters better than SH2-113, but is still weak. Unlike SH2-113, SH2-114 has nice structure that larger telescopes can pick up. It also is the brightest part of the nebula complex. Using a wider field of view setup will pick up both SH2-114 and SH2-113. On the web page link I have a 2 image mosaic showing the two.
