Here is a 3.3 x 2.2 degrees field of view in the constellation of Cepheus that includes many objects; the Lobster Claw Nebula (Sharpless 2-157), the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635), the NGC 7538 emission nebula and the Sharpless 2-161 H II region, as well as the Messier 52 and NGC 7510 open clusters.

The data was captured under bright moonlight on three nights between August 27 and September 3. The moonlight made the data noisy and difficult to process.

Some widefield goodness across the area of and . This is with my 35mm Samyang at F2.8 using a H-Alpha filter and a total of 8 hours integration. I use this piggy back on my main scope so its kinda free which is nice ๐Ÿ™‚ see how many of the famous nebula you can spot.

NGC 7822

Young star forming nebula in the constellation of Cepheus. It is 2,900 light-years away and contains one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc of the Sun, namely BD+66 1673, an eclipsing binary system consisting of a star that has a surface temperature of nearly 45,000 K and a luminosity about 100,000 times that of the Sun.

NGC 7380

Magnitude 7.2 open cluster located 8,500 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. It was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1787. The surrounding emission nebulosity is known colloquially as the Wizard Nebula.

Mu Cephei (Herschel's Garnet Star)

Red supergiant in the constellation Cepheus. It appears garnet red and is located at the edge of the IC 1396 nebula. It is visually nearly 100,000 times brighter than the Sun. It is also one of the largest known stars with a radius around or over 1,000 times that of the Sun. If it were placed in the Sun's position it would engulf the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

NGC 7129

Magnitude 11.5 reflection nebula located 3,300 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. A young open cluster is responsible for illuminating the surrounding nebula. A recent survey indicates the cluster contains more than 130 stars less than 1 million years old.

NGC 6951

Magnitude 11.0 barred spiral galaxy located 75.25 million light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. It is about 100,000 light-years across.

NGC 6946 Fireworks Galaxy

Magnitude 9.6 face-on intermediate spiral galaxy located 25.2 million light-years away between the constellations Cepheus and Cygnus. 10 supernovae have been observed in NGC 6946. That is about 10X the rate observed in our own galaxy, even though the Milky Way has 2X as many stars. For this reason, NGC 6946 is often referred to as the "Fireworks Galaxy".

NGC 7023 Iris Nebula

Magnitude 6.8 reflection nebula located 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. The designation NGC 7023 refers to the open cluster within the larger reflection nebula designated LBN 487.

NGC 2300

Magnitude 10.76 lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Cepheus. It was discovered in 1871 by French astronomer Alphonse Borrelly using an 18ย cm telescope.

NGC 2276

Magnitude 11.8 intermediate spiral galaxy located 120 million light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. It has an asymmetrical appearance, most likely caused by gravitational interactions with its neighbor, elliptical galaxy NGC 2300.
