Description

Not a lot of data, and I gathered it while I was waiting for another target to come in range. However, Gamma Cygni is one of those regions where there's a lot going on that doesn't jump out immediately, making it fun to return to and dig in deeper. [In truth that can probably be said for many areas of the sky.]

What I note this time is the pillar and structure above the "doughnut hole" [my term]; warrants more data. And I will try for some H-beta as Gamma Cygni is on a list of objects with that potential.
