I was relaxing last weekend panning around in Cygnus with some 50mm bino's and was scanning by all kinds of interesting star chains, circles, dark areas, Milky Way patches and what might be big clusters.

Other than the usual references to relatively small objects, are there some sources for these "bigger" objects? FOV on my bino's was about 6 degrees.

Anybody have any favorites in this area ?

The North America Nebula (NGC 7000), the Pelican Nebula (IC 5067-70), the Cygnus Loop (Veil Nebula complex), and the Northern Coalsack (B348-9) come to mind.
