Sh2-75 and Sh2-76 are extremely faint Hα emission nebulae located near the border to Serpens Cauda in the western part of Aquila. They can be found approximately 13 degrees due west of Altair. The red nebula with a visual diameter of about 10 arc minutes in the lower left of the image is Sh2-75, and the slightly denser red nebula one degree northwest of it is Sh2-76. Although there seems to be an extremely faint molecular cloud distributed between the two nebulae, there is no specific designation for it. Although there is a nearly three-fold difference in distance between the two nebulae, there are reports of some correlation between them.
