The Gamma Cygni Nebula--also known as IC 1318, is an extensive cloud of gas and dust close to the star Deneb in the constellation Cygnus. The most prominent star in the nebula is Gamma Cygni, or Sadr, to give it its proper name. The nebula is part of a much larger nebula complex that includes the Butterfly Nebula and the Crescent Nebula.
The images below were taken with the RASA 8 and DS10C camera, with NBZ filter. They are a stack of 50 second integrations, for a total of about 100 minutes. I have included both starred and starless versions of the nebula.
