These nebulae form the northern part of the Gamma Cygni nebulae. NGC 6914 is the name of the blue combined emission/reflection nebula around three stars near the center of the frame. 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. These are extremly faint nebulae.
