Northern Cygnus - North America Nebula to Eta Cygni

Okie-Tex Star Party 2012

This is a wide field shot of the northern section of Cygnus over 20 degrees wide. In the upper left next to the bright star Deneb is the North America Nebula and Pelican Nebula. In the middle around the bright star Sadr (Gamma Cygni) is the Gamma Cygni Nebula. As you make your way down the cross to the bottom right you see the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) and at the end is the Tulip Nebula (Sharpless 101) (just above Eta Cygni).
