A telephoto lens shot of the cluster and nebula region of the Cassiopeia-Perseus border, with the Double Cluster at lower right, and the Heart and Soul Nebulas at centre. They are also known as IC 1805 andf IC 1848 respectively. The bright patch off the top right of IC 1805 is NGC 896. Cluster NGC 663 is at top right edge in Cassiopeia. This is a stack of 5 x 6 minute exposures at ISO 800 with the Canon 5D MkII and 135mm lens at f/2.8. Taken from home.
Cassiopeia nearly overhead on an autumn night, amid the pines at Athabasca Fall, Jasper National Park, Alberta. The Andromeda Galaxy is at top, Perseus is at upper right, and Cepheus and Cygnus at lower left. This is a stack of 4 exposures for the trees (mean combined to smooth noise) and one for the sky, all 25 seconds at f/2 with the 20mm lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 6400. All exposures untracked. Light cloud added the natural star glows.
Cassiopeia and Cepheus in a stack of 5 x 4 minute exposures with the Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800 and 50mm Sigma lens at f/3.2. Plus two exposures taken thru the Kenko Softon filter for the star glows. Takes in the nebulosity in this part of the Milky Way from IC 1396 (at right) to IC 1805 (at left). Taken from home Sept, 29, 2013.
