3URSH2-96 - The Scarlet Letter Nebula
Sh2-96 is an extremely faint emission nebula in Cygnus. It is also known as The Scarlet Letter Nebula and just like the letter in the novel "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the letter in this nebula is a scarlet capital A. I have also seen it referred to as Fire and Water. The "A" portion being the fire and the blue nebulosity the water. The brighter portion of the capital A is also designated as Lynds Bright Nebula (LBN) 066.
This object was very faint. Even with over 41 hours of data, it still pretty noisy. Thank goodness for the tools we have today.
