This rich area of the northern Milky Way stretches from Cepheus on the lower left to Cassiopeia on the upper right. Numerous bright red emission nebulas, dark nebulas and star clusters can be seen.
The large emission nebula IC 1396 is in the lower left corner, next of Herschel's Garnet Star (Mu Cephei). Open cluster M52 and the Bubble Nebula, NGC 7635, are at the right center of the frame. At the lower right is a pair of large emission nebulas, CED 214 (Sh2-171) and NGC 7822. Large open cluster NGC 7789 is at the upper right corner, about two and a half degrees from Caph (Beta Cassiopeiae). Other red emission nebulas in the field are: Sh2-132, Sh2-142, Sh2-155 (the Cave Nebula), and Sh2-157.
