Cygnus around NGC6914 in H-alpha

[han59]

The image below contains  the small nebula NGC6114 in the middle and a very nice (unidentified) dark cloud. It was created from exposures taken during three clear nights in august 2019 and one night in 2018. The large annotation in the top is LBN80.79+3.15/ LBN292 classified as a bright nebula.  Astrometric (plate) solving makes it possible to image the same area during several clear nights. No other software was used then indicated.

Maybe the documented size of NGC6914 is wrong. Something to investigate.
