Here is a not so often imaged area around Theta Cephei, including LDN1089 and other dark nebulae.
I've found only a few images of Sh2-130 and even less of them are showing signs of reflection nebula around this HII object. So I tried to bring this out, though this reflection nebula looks to be obscured by the dust.
"Faint nebulosity surrounds the B5 star HD 197911, the A0 star HD 197809 and the G5 star SAO 18999. HD 197911 is a runaway star blasted from the heart of the Cep OB2 association by a supernova explosion 2-3 million years ago."
Galaxy MapA vast H-alpha region is also visible in the up-left. At first I thought something is wrong with my flats, but then I found a couple of wide-angle images on the Web that show the emission nebula here.
This is the first time I could collimate my SHARPSTAR 15028HNT good enough for the APS-C camera. And it is also my fist experience with ZWO ASI2600MC Pro.
And this is also the first time I've heard the fox's cry. Perhaps this fox was angry with my setup installed near his burrow
UPD: there is another thing I've tested for the first time! My new winter sleeping bag, it allows me sleeping in a car at -10C outside without necessarily running the engine to warm up
