IC 1318 Gamma Cygni Nebula around Sadr: Three Images

Imaged from Beckwith Township, Ontario, Canada.

With an apparent visual magnitude of +2.23, Sadr (Gamma Cyg) is among the brighter stars visible in the night sky. This star is surrounded by a diffuse nebula called IC1318, or the Gamma Cygni region in the constellation of Cygnus.
Some distance estimates for Gamma Cyg place it at around 1,800 light-years while estimates for IC 1318 range from 2,000 to 5,000 light-years.
