I thought this area in the constellation Cygnus seemed interesting and looked somewhat like a Dragon with its wings swept back and with the Propeller Nebula in its clutches!

There are a large number of bright nebulae (LBN) and dark nebulae (LDN) in this image, as well as the Propeller Nebula (DWB 111, 119) which is in the clutches of the dragon.  The open star cluster, NGC 6866, is seen at the top right of the frame. (See annotation for details.)

Capture Date: 7/27/24
