On this page I collect my observations of the galactic emission nebula Sh2-101 (Tulip Nebula) in constellation Cygnus.

 

Introduction

The galactic emission nebula Sh2-101 (Tulip Nebula) in constellation Cygnus is faint and resembles a tulip on photos, hence its name. It was cataloged by the astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his catalog of nebulae published in 1959.
