Sh2-86 is one of the Sharpless catalogue of hydrogen emitting regions. There is very little OIII and SII compared with the amount of Ha so a fair amount of extra processing was required for the weaker channels. The central part of nebula which surrounds an open star cluster contains some interesting 'trunk' like structures of dark nebula. This nebula and star cluster lie in the constellation Vulpecula. The field of view is approximately 3.5x3.5 degrees
