This wide-field image looks into the heart of Cygnus, centered on the rich nebular landscape surrounding Sadr, also known as Gamma Cygni. The field includes the Gamma Cygni Nebula complex, cataloged as IC 1318 and Sh2-108, along with dark molecular clouds, Lynds bright and dark nebulae, Barnard dark nebulae, and the young open cluster NGC 6910. Sadr itself is a foreground yellow-white supergiant…
