Comments:  The night was very clear with a low in the 50s and a LOT of dew.  In fact, I attempted some wider field shots with the 300 mm lens piggybacked and it was totally dewed over in spite of the heater on it.  This is a bright nebula in Cygnus located near gamma Cygni.  It can be seen near the bottom edge of my gamma Cygnus region wide field shot.
