Description

The Sadr Region (also known as IC 1318 or the Gamma Cygni Nebula) is the diffuse emission nebula surrounding Sadr (γ Cygni) at the center of Cygnus's cross. The Sadr Region is one of the surrounding nebulous regions, others include the Butterfly Nebula and the Crescent Nebula. It contains many dark nebulae in addition to the emission diffuse nebulae.

This is a small experiment of composing images from few different setups. May is quite early for this object, it was barely above the horizon while shooting it. Eventually we ended up with 6 panels composed into a small mosaic. RGB stars consist of 2 separate panels. Each panel is roughly 2-3h but so low above the horizon I'm surprised how it eventually looks. It was also my 1st time trying to create such a big mosaic (big at least to me).
