Una cornice delle principali aree di nebulosità chiara e scura in Cygnus e Cefeus, mostrando nebulose di emissione rosa in contrasto con le regioni polverose scure in
A framing of the major areas of bright and dark nebulosity in Cygnus and Cepheus, showing pink emission nebulas contrasting with dark dusty regions in the Cygnus and into the Perseus arms of the Milky Way. Cepheus is at upper left; northern Cygnus is at right, with the bright Cygnus starcloud right of centre. The reddening (or yellowing) effects of interstellar dust in the spiral arms of the Milky Way is apparent. The bright blue star Deneb is left of centre. Just below it and at centre is the North America Nebula, NGC 7000, and its adjacent companion Pelican Nebula, IC 5070. The Gamma Cygni nebulosity complex, IC 1318, is right of centre. The dark Funnel Cloud Nebula in northern Cygnus is at centre. The Veil Nebula supernova remnant, NGC 6960 and 6992-5, is at lower right. The small Cocoon Nebula, IC 5146, is below and left of centre. The Elephant Trunk Nebula, IC 1396, with the adjacent orange Garnet Star (aka Mu Cephei) in Cepheus is at upper left. The area is dotted with other smaller emission nebulas in southern Cepheus.
