This nebula is part of the Cirrus-nebula-complex. It was found photographically in 1904 by Williamina Fleming.
Following the modified bicolor technique by Steve Cannistra and especially Gerhard Wechselberger's Pixelmath-implementation in PixInsight for combining Hα- and OIII-frames I created a synthetic green channel from the narrowband-channels and combined them to a pseudo-RGB-image, thereby enhancing the emission nebulae.
