Cassiopeia
Constellation of Cassiopeia, the Queen, in the northern autumn sky, showing the variety of colours in the starclouds and nebulas that populate this section of the Milky Way. The pink emission nebulas of the Heart and Soul nebulas (IC 1848 and IC 1805 respectively), at left, and the NGC 7822/Ced 214 complex, at top, dominate. The small pink patch at bottom is the Pacman nebula (NGC 281). At upper right are the faint nebulas around the star cluster M52, including the Bubble nebula (NGC 7635). The purple glows near the star Gamma Cassiopeiae, or Navi, at centre are the reflection nebulas IC 59 and IC 63. Lots of star clusters populate the area, including the Double Cluster in Perseus at lower left, and Caroline's Rose (NGC 7789), at right. NGC 663 and NGC 457 are the star clusters below the left side of the W that marks Cassiopeia. Taken from Alberta, Canada, on October 1, 2021.
