Sh2-115 is a faint emission nebula in Cygnus, just about 1.5 degrees northwest of Deneb, the brightest star of the constellation. Inside Sh2-115 can be found the small open cluster Berkeley 90 (see mouseover). For long time Sh2-116 has been considerd a planetary nebula (even has its proper designation Abell 71, PK 085+04.1,or PN G084.9+04.4. But the recent studies describe it as a small patch of emission nebula.
