This is the Milky Way region located between the constellations Cygnus (upper right) and Cepheus (lower left). The red nebulas in the upper right corner are the North America and Pelican nebulas. The red nebula just left of center is IC 1396.
This pic was taken at the 2002 MidAtlantic Star Party. The black hump at the bottom is the shadow of my dew shield which I neglected to remove for the shot :-(
