IC 1318, the Butterfly Nebula, is to the left of Sadr. Near the center top of the frame is the open cluster NGC 6910. I imaged this with a TV NP101 and modified Canon XSi. Exposures: 15x300s, ISO 800, with an IDAS LPS filter, darks and flats applied.

The NP101 has been my primary imaging scope for 5 years now. It's no slouch for grab and go visual too.
