Sh2-101 Tulip

Emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. Located at a distance of about 6000 light-years. Apparent size 16' x 9'. Used Siril scripts for the first time: CosmicClarity_Sharpen CosmicClarity_Denoise. A much more interesting object located very close to the Tulip is the X-ray source Cygnus X-1, discovered in 1964. It is located at the site of a black hole. A blue supergiant star orbits around it, feeding a rotating accretion disk, as a result of which relativistic jets of high-energy particles (jets) are ejected perpendicular to the accretion disk. One of these jets collides with a denser region of the interstellar medium, forming a glowing curved bow shock, and this shock wave is my goal for the future. It is quite large, resembling a horseshoe, but the object is very faint. For anyone interested, type in Yandex: Cygnus x-1 and shock wave, it is quite impressive and there are photos.
