The region of the summer Milky Way in northern Cygnus containing a rich collection of bright nebulas: the North America Nebula at centre and the Gamma Cygni complex at right, plus the dark nebulas Le Gentil 3, the Funnel Cloud Nebula at upper left, the Northern Coal Sack at centre, and the finger-like B168 at lower left. The bright star at centre is Deneb. M39 is at lower left. This is a stack of 6 x 3-minute exposures with the 85mm Rokinon lens at and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 800, on the Sky-Watcher Star Adverturer tracker. An additional exposure taken through a Kenko Softon A filter adds the star glows. Taken on a very clear night from home August 1, 2019. The camera was not filter-modified so the red nebulas don’t stand out as much as they should.
