Sadr (Gamma Cygni) and the surrounding nebula

Camera: Sony A6400 (no mod),

Lens: Samyang 135mm f/2,

Mount: Skywatcher HEQ5,

Sky: Bortle 5, no moon.

Around 400 of 30 s subs pre-processed, stacked and post-processed in Siril with a pretty standard procedure. However due to moderate light pollution quadratic background extraction was applied already at sub level. Shot at f/2.8, ISO 400.

Visible near the upper right corner is the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). The halo around Sadr is a result of lens optics and I did not attempt to remove it. A reflection nebula near the lower left corner around 44 Cygni is also visible.
