The northern summer Milky Way through the area of the Summer Triangle, showing the change in colour as the Milky Way heads south toward the dustier regions around the galactic core. Deneb in Cygnus is at top, Vega in Lyra is to the upper right, and Altair in Aquila is at bottom. The dark lanes of the Cygnus Rift show up well, beginning in Cygnus and splitting the Milky Way in two. The most prominent deep sky objects all visible in binoculars are: the dark nebula complex Le Gentil 3, aka the Funnel Nebula, at top left, the reddish North America Nebula beside Deneb, and the Serpens-Ophiuchus Double Cluster at bottom right consisting of IC 4756 (larger, at left) and NGC 6633 (right).
