Description

Cepheus...king of the northern sky.  During the months of October, November, and December of 2023 I collected Ha subs using the wonderful Samyang 135 & ASI 1600 MM combo.  16 tiles were required to cover the entire constellation.   Average integration for each frame was 3 hours (60 subs x 3 minutes).  Around 48 hours total. 

I encourage you to click on the full resolution image so you can zoom in and have a space walk around and enjoy all the wonderful deep space objects this region of the sky has to offer.  It took quite a bit of time to label what I find to be the more interesting emission nebula, dark nebula, open clusters, reflection nebulas, etc.  Stellarium, fellow Astrobin photos, and the @Gary Imm  Compendium where valuable tools to help identify these Cepheus gems.
