About
About 6,000 light-years away near Gamma Cygni's broad emission complex, NGC 6914 is a group of blue reflection nebulae lit by hot young stars and set against a large red hydrogen background laced with dark dust. Combining broadband and H-alpha is needed to render both the reflected blue and emitted red, a colorful advanced summer target.
