Sadr region, or
IC 1318, is the diffuse
emission nebula surrounding
Sadr or
Gamma Cygni. Sadr lies in the center of Cygnus's cross. The
Sadr region is one of the surrounding
nebulous regions; others include the Butterfly Nebula and the
Crescent Nebula. It contains many
dark nebulae in addition to the emission
diffuse nebulae.
Sadr itself has approximately a magnitude of 2.2. The nebulous regions around the region are also fairly bright.
