Here is a photo of Cygnus WITH stars for those (like me) who don't like overly processed images.

A few years ago I got to do an observing session with Al Nagler. Besides bringing some of his great products, he brought out a test copy of a 1x white light night vision device that could be hooked up to his eyepieces. When I got a turn, I looked at Cygnus right off. While it didn’t look that full of gas, it was amazing how much of the gas clouds you could see. We also put it on an eyepiece and mounted it to a 22in Dob a friend of mine has. We pointed the scope at M8 and it was amazing how hard it was to find the edge of the gas cloud. We could easily see the ‘Pillars of Creation” in M16 too. Really nice night.
By the By, he sells that night vision scope for about $2000. Maybe more.
