Description

The Sadr Region is a gas rich area *visually* surrounding the star Sadr (arabic to "chest", referring to where it sits in the constellation Swan) and place of some of the most know nebulas, like the Crescent or Butterfly. Despite looking inside the nebula, Sadr is located at about 1,800 light years, whilst the nebula is at 5,000 light years; hence much closer to us. It is a F8 supergiant and its spectrum is one of the references to classify other stars. 

This SHO rendition of the area is the first new photo in almost four months, after some equipment maintenance and lots, and lots of clouds. After so long, smoke from Canada's wildfires, Full Moon and winds of 30 km/h haven't deterred me...
