HaRGB image. Previously I processed this with 7 hours of SII included – but less data improves the end result.
Sharpless (Sh-2) 114 (and 113) are complex and unusual HII emission nebulas. The filamentary structures resemble a supernova remnant. However, no supernova remnant appears to be recorded for this location.
The wispy structures are likely the result of winds from hot, massive stars interacting with the magnetic fields in the interstellar medium. But very little is known about it.
