This photograph has captured around eta Cygni, around the neck of Swan. The field has been bathed in the Milky Way, we can recognize many streaks and lumps of reddish nebulosity. Especially a bright region loos like a half moon at east of eta Cyg has a number of Sh2-101, and it's same gaseous matters with IC1318 which is surrounding gamma Cyg, positioned just upper left of out of this flame.
