An area full of contrasts. Contains stars, dust and glowing gas. The NGC 6914 6,000 light years away from us, belongs in the constellation Cygnus, located north of the c Cygni (Sadr). In this region coexists all kinds of nebulas, dark, emitting and reflective. Great area region; occupies more than two degrees in the sky, with his actual size more than 50 light years. The NGC 6914 although basically reflection nebula, owe in two bright stars, visual mafnitude of of +9.2 and +10,59 (TYC 3160-0616-1 and GSC 3160-1864 respectively). Next are the van de Bergh 132 and 131, reflection nebulas too. Then there is the large dark area named Lynd's Dark Nebula 897 (LDN 897, the image looks like the human ear, extending left and the center of the image). This year we did not have time to get the appropriate shots to distinguish all classes of that portion of nebulae. I hope next year. Until then, let's stick to this version with hydrogen filter.
