The Tulip Nebula is an emission nebula, energized by hot, young stars. It was catalogued by Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 nebula catalog. The companion star to the Cygnus X-1 black hole is also close by in the sky and I have included in the images below a monochrome capture showing this star.

The imge below is enhanced to show stars. The position of the companion star to the Cygnus X1 black hole is ringed in blue.
The final image is a wide field image showing the nebula embedded in a wider area of nebulosity in Cygnus.
