Description

A bright emission nebula in the Sadr region of Cygnus processed in the SHO palette.

I am unsure of the name of this nebula, the internet seems to say it is IC1318 the Gamma Cygni Nebula or Butterfly Nebula, but Stellarium disagrees and says those are a different location around Sadr. NGC 6910 seems to be the smaller star cluster at the bottom and cut out of the frame. It looks like a butterfly to me so that is what I have been calling it.
