LDN 939 is a cold, dark molecular dust cloud located in the constellation Cygnus. In this FOV there are so many interesting astrophysical objects (beyond LDN 939) that it would be difficult to mention them all. However, a few worth mentioning:
Sh2-112, Sh2-115, Sh2-116 (previously categorised as a Planetary Nebula Abell 71), are faint emission nebulae, consisting of extensive clouds hydrogen gas ionised by the intense radiation emitted by young massive stars.
PK 086+05.1, also referenced as Weinberger 1-10 is a genuine Planetary, a very faint blue bubble to the right of the image. Another very faint Planetary (PK 083+05.1) is referenced below SH2-116, middle left of the image.
There are also many LBN and LDN objects in this image, it is really interesting to check out this region further.
