  • This image display a small 3 degrees portion of our night sky in the region of Cepheus constellation. This region contains several emission nebulas. I chose to capture is with a combination of three 6.5 nm bandwidth filters (for the nebulosity) and wide band RGB filters (for the stars). It was taken over multiple short nights during this spring from my balcony, under Bortle class 5.7 sky.
