Description

Bright butterfly IC 1318 Gamma Cygni nebula. About 2000 light years away in Orion arm of our galaxy. Brightest star in image is Sadr.

I pushed the color saturation a bit more than usual, but I think signal supports this pretty well. Clear nights have been rare, and this is only one night's data, but seeing was good. Also, considering it was almost full moon, I was pleased with the quality of the data.
