103 subs at 180 sec each (5 hours 9 minutes total exposure). Friday 7/18/25 was a beautiful clear night with the best skies this summer (humidity was way down). This wide-field look into the Sadr region in Cygnus captures multiple objects in the frame. IC 1318 (Gamma Cygni Nebula), NGC 6888 (The Crescent Nebula), M29 (Open Cluster), DWB 111/119 (The Propeller Nebula), plus many more objects. Such a rich and beautiful part of the night sky.
