This is 68 Cygni. It is flaxseed designation for a star in the constellations of Cygnus. Located approximately 1,400 parsecs distant.
For me it is called "Santa Claus Nebula" since it resembled the face of a Santa Claus and I captured this on Christmas eve. So have Merry Christmas everyone and may you New Year be filled with love and you will help us prevent light pollution so we can enjoy the beauty of the night.
