This is a picture of Cygnus without the stars, except for Deneb which is still in the picture towards the top,(hold your mouse over the picture to make the stars appear), taken with a special camera lens to show the hydrogen atoms. In fact, all the red is hydrogen gas. You can also see the Pelican, North America, and Butterfly nebulas in this picture. Nebulas, nebulae, whatever. That's about it. It's not very exciting but it's still a really pretty picture.
