Telescope: Stellarvue SV80-25 80mm Triplet & SV Focal Reducer | Designation: DWB 111, also known as the Propeller Nebula is a hydrogen-alpha emission nebula in Cygnus. The Propeller Nebula is located close to Gamma Cygni in the direction of north-east. Like many emission nebulae in Cygnus, the Propeller is part of the giant molecular cloud, the Cygnus X, which is about 4600 light-years from the Solar System. There is another, much more closer dark molecular cloud between it and us, in a distance of about 300 light-years, called the Cygnus Rift. The propeller shape is actually a small portion of the much larger emission nebula. |
