This is a dark nebula with some emission around it just below Sadr in Cygnus. Roland's mosaic has this area in it too I believe.
I took this 7-17-15 on my last night at the mountain site. Seeing was a little softer that night but not too bad. 80 minute of each filter LRGB.
Hope you find it interesting.
**It was brought to my attention that the central object is LDN853 not 845.
