The Sadr region is an area of the Cygnus galaxy near the star Sadr known for its intense nebulosity. It also happens to host 1 or 2 stars as evidenced by this stack of 120 90-second exposures (3 hours) taken with a Sony Alpha 6300 and Samyang 135mm manual focus lens riding 'piggyback' on my main telescope.
This part of the sky is bursting with clusters and nebulae as the Milky Way dominates the background behind part of the Cygnus constellation.
