Description: A=3D large parenthesis-shaped nebula, faint surface brightness
even with UHC; thick and peppered with stars; B=3D large nebula, somewhat
oval-shaped, forming a triangle with NGC6910 and gamma CYG, it contains 2
mag8 stars and two star groups at the edges of its major axis, nebula

some star groups are scattered on it; D=3D faint and very large. B and C are
