24"wide by 18"high Canvas Print of SADR Region IC1318 The SADR region, also known as IC 1318, is a complex of emission nebulae located in the Cygnus constellation. This region is often referred to as the "Sadr Region" due to its association with the bright star Sadr (Gamma Cygni), which is one of the stars that form the "Northern Cross" asterism in Cygnus. The Sadr region is a part of the larger Gamma Cygni Nebula complex. The SADR region encompasses a vast area of space filled with interstellar gas and dust, which is illuminated and energized by the radiation from nearby hot stars, including Sadr itself. This radiation causes the gas to emit light at various wavelengths, creating the beautiful and intricate structures of emission nebulae. These nebulae are composed of ionized hydrogen (HII regions) and are often regions of active star formation. The SADR region is known for its distinctive shape, which resembles a butterfly with outstretched wings. The "wings" of the butterfly are com
