The Gamma Cygni Nebula – A big image from a small telescope

The Gamma Cygni Nebula is much larger and far more complex that most
astronomers realise. For example SkyMap Pro quotes a size of 50 x 30
arc minutes yet the image on the web site below (145 x 97 arc minutes)
still only shows a portion of what is present!
