This is a large complex of stellar clouds found in the Cygnus constellation. This has always been one of my favorite cloud complex's in the night sky. The nebula towards the top is the Crescent Nebula, which is lit by a massive Wolf-Rayet star. A similar type star illuminates the faint blue loop towards the center. The Tulip nebula is the bright flaming nebula to the right and is illuminated by a massive Type-O star.
