Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Gamma Cygni is apparently near the center of an extended region of very faint nebulosity. Barnard discovered this photographically, and comments in his Milky Way atlas that most of the nebulae do not show in the printed version of the plate. It is, however, well-seen on the prints from the Palomar Schmidt.
Rather than try to locate the center of this extended nebulae, I've simply adopted the position of gamma Cyg itself.
Wolfgang has two additional patches of nebulosity labeled "IC 1318A" and "IC 1318B" at 20 16 36, +41 49.0 and 20 27 54, +40 00.0, respectively. He also includes the position of gamma Cyg for IC 1318 itself.
