It is really much dimmer than this image would indicate. I boosted the contrast and brightness a great deal. The Veil Nebula is another chestnut image…
Update: Slightly better version of the photo, rotated to match the Wikipedia article on the Veil Nebula, which has some stunning images. This is NGC6992, or the “Eastern Veil”. Weather permitting, I will try to image the rest of it soon. (Cygnus is actually not quite in the best position for me now.)
