Gammy Cygni (Sadr) is the bright blue star in the center of this image. It is 1800 light years away and the nebulosity in this image (IC 1318) is far behind (4900 light years).

The star is a super giant having about 12 times the mass of the sun and shining 30000 as bright as the sun. It will burn its fuel rapidly and end its life in a supernova explosion not too far in the future.

The nebula (IC 1318) is a typical star nursery. The stars illuminating the gas clouds are not visible. They are hidden behind the dark molecular clouds and dust. Left from Sadr (in a blueish bubble) we also see NGC 6810, an open star cluster, physically related to all these nebula.
