APOD 4.5

The constellation viewed here is Cygnus. This is also an imagine of part of the Gamma Cygni nebula. This nebula lies about 1,800 light years away. If you look closely to the right you can see the Barnard 344 cloud. Barnard looks like a black scattered cloud near the star Sadr. The emission nebula is seen in the center. This is the red gas from small nebulas.
