Here is an image of part of the Gamma Cygni Nebula (IC 1318). It spans about 2 degrees horizontally. I have attached a mid sized thumbnail. A full size image and exposure / processing details can be seen at:

This image did present some challenges with the bright star Sadr in the same field as the nebula itself. I think that the Artemis285 handled the dynamic range reasonably well. Of course the CCD is anti-blooming.
Scope was my Megrez II at f/3.2 Camera was the Artemis285.
