Description

A simple image just to remind me of the vastness of our sky.  FOV is about 8x11 degrees, North is to the left.  M27 [NGC 6853] is to the lower left and M71 [NGC 6838] is above and to the right of center,  approximately midway along a line between the two bright stars Gamma and Delta Sge.   Dark subtraction, flat-fielding and log stretch in Maxim. The cloud of stars just overwhelms me.
