I took this photo as comet Jaques flew by the elephant trunk nebula. Taken with very minimal equipment.
Shining brightly at the top right is the Garnet Star.

Amazing job and I love your nickname, it's so delightful!
The OIII loop isn't related to Sh2-101 and is associated with the Cygnus X-1 binary system. An image of it was taken by Steve Cullen and was featured on APOD: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap090608.html
The nebula around Cygnus X-1 was also imaged by Don Goldman: http://www.astrodonimaging.com/gallery/ ... ?imgID=254
