Sh2-119 and Ou5

Happy to present to you the last capture that I made with my ASI1600MM camera, before moving to another, after 5 years of good and loyal service, more than 200 hours of captures, and 52 objects captured. This is a two-panel mosaic of the nebula Sh2-119, in SHO. Captured from June 6 to 16, 2023, on two fields, to form a mosaic. Panel 1 has 17:10 hours of exposure, and panel 2 has 14:20 hours. The cumulative exposure is 31 hours 30 minutes.
The stars are in RGB, and have 30 minutes of exposure in total (15 minutes per panel).
The colorimetry is an assembly of SHO and HOO, with the stars in RGB.

Sh2-119 is a visible emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, and is located approximately 2200 light years away (∼675 pc).
Its shape resembles two shells arranged to the east and west of 68 Cygni. It appears to envelop the star 68 Cygni, of magnitude 5. In the southern part, thin filaments and cocoons of dark nebulosities are visible, contrasting sharply both with the glow of the nebula and with the rich star field of bottom.
