The two brightest stars above are (from right to left) Deneb and Sadr. They form the head to neck part of the Cygnus (Swan) constellation.

There are several named nebulas visible in this image. Below Deneb is the North American nebula (NGC 7000) and the Pelican nebula (IC 5067). Just below the Pelican is IC 5068. Gamma Cygnus nebula (IC 1318) surrounds Sadr. At the left edge in level with Sadr, the Crescent nebula (NGC 6888) is just visible
