Description

The Northern area of Cygnus The Swan is part of the Northern Cross asterism and is covered with emission and dark nebula regions. It includes the star Deneb, the North American Nebula (NGC 7000), the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070), the Cygnus Rift (or Northern Coalsack), the star Sadr, the Butterfly Nebula (IC 1318), and the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). I was going to make a mosaic of this area with my scope. But I found I could cover the area with my widefield lens so that's what I attempted. So here is my version of Northern Cygnus:
