Description

Inspired by Marcel Drechsler's photo "the valleys and cliffs of Cepheus", my goal was to photograph this exciting and rarely photographed region near Polaris in a larger field. I find it particularly exciting how strongly the dark nebulae are colored by the yellow and blue stars. A total of about 31 hours of exposure time was invested in the LRGB image. This is a joint project by me and Martin Voigt aka Matein. I did the image composition and the imaging at pixelskies, he did the final editing in Pixinsight and Photoshop.
I hope you like our final result. :-)
