Milky Way Galaxy in Cygnus
From the author of   Welcome to the Universe in 3D
Here's a picture I took with my Seestar S30 Pro smart telescope in MilkyWay mode.
It's a 10-minute stack of 10-second subexposures.
This picture was taken from the deck behind my house at 23:31 EDT on Aug. 23, 2026.
The bright star just a little to the left of center is Sadr.
The brighter star just a little up and to the left of Sadr is Deneb.
And, the kind of bright star down low and a bit right of center is Alberio.
