Another widefield image of Rolando Ligustri, this time it corresponds to the Cygnus constellation area. Cygnus is a northern hemisphere constellation specially visible in summer time. Milky Way is all around the area so there are a lot of bright nebulae easy to find in Cygnus. North America nebula is an example. It is visible with binoculars in a dark sky. Dumbbell is a big planetary nebula better visible with telescopes.
