Gamma Cygni is the central star in Cygnus, the Swan, or Northern Cross, and is surrounded by nebulosity.  The brighter portions are visible in my 14.5" telescope with a Ultrablock filter, including  the "] ["-shaped Butterfly Nebula at the bottom of the image, and IC 1318, the triangle-shaped nebula in the left portion of the image.  At the top right of the image is NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula.
