Sh 2-114

Sh 2-114

Sh 2-114 (also known as Flying Dragon Nebula) is a faint emission nebula located in the constellation of Cygnus. It lies roughly 4° East-Northeast of star Sigma Cygni. At the northeastern edge is a small bipolar planetary nebula Kronberger 26 (also known as Lan 384), discovered in 2006 and confirmed as a true planetary nebula in 2011. Kn 26 appears as a faint butterfly-shaped object in deep images and is unrelated to Sh 2-114 except by line-of-sight projection.
