The Milky Way in Cygnus
Lots of goodies in this section
of the sky. At top is emission nebula IC1396 in Cepheus.
There is the North America and Pelican Nebulae next to the
bright star Deneb. The Butterfly Nebula, IC 1311 and 1318,
surround Sadr or Gamma Cygni. And the Veil Nebula is somewhat
visible here just to the left of center. At the bottom of
the image is the Coathanger cluster (Cr. 399).
The bright star to
the right is Vega in the constellation Lyra.
