Messier 29 or M29, also known as NGC 6913 or the Cooling Tower Cluster, is a quite small, bright open cluster of stars just south of the central bright star Gamma Cygni of a northerly zone of the sky, Cygnus. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1764, and can be seen from Earth by using binoculars.
Cygnus is superimposed as main stars constellation over a photo of the according section of the night sky . There is an abundance of deep-sky objects, with many open clusters, nebulae of various types and supernova remnants found in Cygnus due to its position on the Milky Way. Its molecular clouds form the Cygnus Rift dark nebula constellation ...
IC 5146 (also Caldwell 19, Sh 2-125, Barnard 168, and the Cocoon Nebula) is a reflection [2] /emission [3] nebula and Caldwell object in the constellation Cygnus. The NGC description refers to IC 5146 as a cluster of 9.5 mag stars involved in a bright and dark nebula. The cluster is also known as Collinder 470. [4]
Messier 39 or M39, also known as NGC 7092, is an open cluster of stars in the constellation of Cygnus, sometimes referred to as the Pyramid Cluster.It is positioned two degrees south of the star Pi Cygni [7] and around 9° east-northeast of Deneb. [8]
A deep-sky object (DSO) is any astronomical object that is not an individual star or Solar System object (such as Sun, Moon, planet, comet, etc.). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The classification is used for the most part by amateur astronomers to denote visually observed faint naked eye and telescopic objects such as star clusters , nebulae and galaxies .
NGC 6811 is an open cluster in the constellation of Cygnus, [3] near the constellation of Lyra. [4] It has an angular size half that of the full Moon and includes about 1000 stars [5] of roughly similar magnitude. [3] [6] It has also been called "The Hole in the Cluster" or "Hole in a Cluster" [7] because of its dark center. [6] [8]

The location of NGC 6910 in the sky. NGC 6910 is located half a degree east-north east of Gamma Cygni, also known as Sadr. It may be physically related with the nebula IC 1318 (also known as the Gamma Cygni Nebula) as it lies at a similar distance, behind the galactic Great Rift. Cygnus OB9 is located within the Orion Arm of the Milky Way ...
