Description

I continue on my efforts to get a nice wide field picture of beautiful Cepheus. This time I decided to go out the safe zone of my RedCat51 and do it with the Samyang 135, which is a very fine lens that delivers round and sharp stars. I was able to image on 2 consecutive nights ahead of the almost full moon. I decided to frame the view to capture the amazing red nebula Sh2-133 at the very top and go from the bright blue stars Alderamin to Alfirk. The signal came back pretty strong with 8 min subs. I was able to get good detail on so many known targets. I like this super wide field of one of my favorite areas of the cosmos. A good start of the holiday season.
