NGC 6914 is the name of the blue combined emission/reflection nebula around three stars near the center of the image.

Most of the other large red emission nebula patches in this image seem to belong to a huge supernova shell located in the next inner spiral arm of our galaxy. (nightsky)

SBIG ST8300M camera with FW5 filterwheel and BAADER LRGB filters.
