_____________________________________________________________
Sh2-124 molecular hydrogen cloud in the north-east Cygnus. It’s a pretty large emission nebula, but not too bright. The whole area is filled with the hydrogen, so every place you look you can see red. There’s not a lot of information on this out there.
