IC 1318 --The Butterfly Nebula

 The area around the star Sadr (gamma Cygni) is filled with a dense nebula, IC 1318. This image is a part of the Butterfly Nebula, one of the nebulas that is part of IC 1318 as a whole. This image is about an hour of integration, which is rather short for an f/5 scope, but it does capture some of the complexity of this nebula. To properly image IC 1318 requires a scope with a wider FOV than the one used here (Seestar).
