The area around the constellation Cepheus is an astrophotography buffet, and because the constellation is circumpolar, it’s in the night sky for at least half the year—if you’re anywhere near the north. Both the Iris Nebula and the Fireworks Galaxy, two amazing deep sky objects I captured a couple weeks ago, are here, along with the Elephant’s Trunk nebula, Cave and Wizard nebulas—and a lot more! Some of these targets span the border with Cassiopeia at the bottom.
