NGC6914: At the Heart of the Swan A tangle of nebulae and stars in the heart of Cygnus, between July 24 and August 25. A brilliant blanket of red emission nebulae encompasses an intricate web of reflection nebulae of varying shades of blue, with the field shot through by stars of many vivid colours. Towards the middle of the frame the blue nebula fades gradually in colour and intensity, giving way to very dark clouds in an apparent transition. — Howard
