A view of the extensive H II emission regions in the constellation Cygnus, just North of the star Sadr (γ Cygni), which forms the intersection of the asterism known as the Northern Cross.

At the bottom right is the NGC 6914 reflection nebula, blue halos created by the reflection of the light from blue giant stars on the surrounding interstellar dust.

The field of view is 3.2 x 2.1 degrees, with the celestial North to the left of the image.
