| Notes: |
As with Dolidze 6, the cluster is not the attraction here ... NGC 6910 is centered, and contains about 50 stars. This area is also in central Cygnus, just 0.5 degrees from Sadr (Gamma Cygni), the center of the swan. The "IC 1318" complex of nebulosity overlays many square degrees in this area |
