In this large celestial mosaic taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and published in 2019, there's a lot to see, including multiple clusters of stars born from the same dense clumps of gas and dust. Some of these clusters are older than others and more evolved, making this a generational stellar portrait. This image is of the Cepheus C and Cepheus B regions and combines data from Spitzer's IRAC and MIPS instruments.
The grand green-and-orange delta filling most of the image is a faraway nebula, or a cloud of gas and dust in space. Though the cloud may appear to flow from the bright white spot at its tip, it is actually what remains of a much larger cloud that has been carved away by radiation from stars. The bright region is illuminated by massive stars, belonging to a cluster that extends above the white spot. The white color is the combination of four colors (blue, green, orange and red), each representing a different wavelength of infrared light, which is invisible to human eyes. Dust that has been heated by the stars' radiation creates the surrounding red glow.

A very faint but very large squid-like nebula is visible in planet Earth's sky -- but inside a still larger bat. The Giant Squid Nebula cataloged as Ou4, and Sh2-129 also known as the Flying Bat Nebula, are both caught in this cosmic scene toward the royal royal constellation Cepheus. Discovered in 2011 by French astro-imager Nicolas Outters, the Squid Nebula's alluring bipolar shape is distinguished here by the telltale blue-green emission from doubly ionized oxygen atoms. Though apparently completely surrounded by the reddish hydrogen emission region Sh2-129, the true distance and nature of the Squid Nebula have been difficult to determine. Still, a more recent investigation suggests Ou4 really does lie within Sh2-129 some 2,300 light-years away. Consistent with that scenario, Ou4 would represent a spectacular outflow driven by HR8119, a triple system of hot, massive stars seen near the center of the nebula. The truly giant Squid Nebula would physically be nearly 50 light-years across.

37884 Cepheus and 37800 Cassiopeia head north from Stenson Jn., working 6E25 10.22 Crewe South Yard - Attercliffe Sidings. This was taking fifteen ex-Hanson (ARC) JHA bogie hoppers for scrapping by European Metals Recycling. [Pole, 3/6 sections (4m)]
This was the first of two very interesting trains to pass Stenson Jn., booked less than a quarter of an hour apart just before midday. It had run via the West Coast Main Line to Lichfield, and then via Alrewas and Burton-upon-Trent, and continued via Derby and Ambergate. The second train was expected to run across via Castle Donington (and it did), so coming here for 6E25 meant I could get to the first bridge on that route (I timed the walk as four minutes) - where the sun was still on the front for that train. I decided against standing on the road bridge immediately south of Stenson Jn. because trees now prevent you standing as wide as you could only a few years ago, and when I drove past it was already looking quite crowded! In addition, I probably did not have time to move between trains, meaning neither would have sun on the front.
Sadly, after completely clear skies earlier in the morning, clouds were approaching from the west and there had already been a period of "full dull". But there were some thinner bits and some blue patches, and the sun was burning through as this approached. Being nineteen minutes late (after missing its path at Wichnor Jn.) helped a great deal.

Barnard 150 is a dark molecular cloud of dust in the Cepheus constellation. This molecular cloud is part of our Milky Way galaxy and it lies at about 1200 light years away. Cloud location on the Milky Way's plane, makes it stand out on a background completely filled with colorful stars.
The distinctive, Seahorse like shape of this molecular cloud can be more easily observed by rotating the image by 90 degrees. This nebula is about 1 degree in size or the width of two Moons.

This is a portrait of the southern region of Cepheus the King that takes in the red emission nebulas in the constellation. The area is also laced with dark lanes of dust.
The main nebula is IC 1396, ak the Elephant Trunk Nebula, at bottom. Above and to the right is the arc of Sharpless 2-129. At lower left is NGC 7380 near the edge and Sharpless 2-132, the Lion Nebula, at bottom left. Sharpless 2-140 is at upper left. Unfortunately, the Cave Nebula Sh 2-155 is just cut off at upper left. The stars above IC 1396 are part of the Cepheus OB2 stellar association. The very orange star at centre on the edge of IC 1396 is Herschel's Garnet Star, aka Mu Cephei. The double star and variable star Delta Cephei is at lower left.

LDN 1251 is a dark star forming region in the constellation of Cepheus. It lies approximately 1,000 light years away from Earth. This dark cloud obscures newborn stars shown in the reddish regions of the image. There are also some distant galaxies just visible behind some of the lighter dusty regions.
Taken last year at Los Coloraos, just before my camera decided to break down and needed returning the manufacturers for repair. This created a big gap in my plans for summer and winter imaging but it’s back now and fully functional. This is also known as the Rotten Fish Nebula, but I prefer the alternative name Anglerfish Nebula.

The Iris Nebula
At 1300 light years away and 6 light years across, The Iris Nebula, NGC7203, is a bright reflection nebula located in the constellation Cepheus. The light emitted by the star cluster in the centre of this nebula, reflects from the interstellar dust and gives the blue colour, and due to the resemblance with the iris flower, the name of this object. The brownish area around the reflection nebula consist of “space dust” blocking the light from the stars behind it creating blank, dark areas.
Taken 10 to 13 August 2022 from my Back garden, 98% to 96% Moon, so a challenging capture, but with frequent poor weather you just have to go for it! First time trying to expose the dust in post processing so many attempts, versions and exploring techniques before settling on this result.

This colorful skyscape features the dusty, reddish glow of Sharpless catalog emission region Sh2-155, the Cave Nebula. About 2,400 light-years away, the scene lies along the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy toward the royal northern constellation of Cepheus.
Astronomical explorations of the region reveal that it has formed at the boundary of the massive Cepheus B molecular cloud and the hot, young, blue stars of the Cepheus OB 3 association. The bright rim of ionized hydrogen gas is energized by the radiation from the hot stars, dominated by a bright blue O-type star. Radiation driven ionization fronts are likely triggering collapsing cores and new star formation within. Appropriately sized for a stellar nursery, the cosmic cave is over 10 light-years across.

Located in the constellation of Cepheus, it doesn't take much imagination to see an Elephant's trunk in the emission nebula IC1396 (lower right). The dark embedded clouds in the nebula contain the raw material for star formation and hide protostars within. The bright rim in the Elephant Trunk is the surface of a dense gas cloud, being ionized and compressed by a nearby massive star.

✨ NGC 7023 – The Iris Nebula ✨ Captured with: 📷 QHY286m 🔭 Askar APO185 EQ8-R Mount 🎨 LRGB Filters 🕒 125 x 3-minute exposures
Nestled in the constellation Cepheus, about 1,300 light-years from Earth, NGC 7023—also known as the Iris Nebula—is a stunning reflection nebula. Unlike emission nebulae that glow from ionized gas, the Iris shines by reflecting the light of its central star, HD 200775, a young, massive B-type star. This star illuminates the surrounding interstellar dust, creating the nebula’s signature soft blue glow.
The intricate filaments of dust and gas, along with dark lanes weaving through the illuminated regions, make the Iris Nebula a favorite among astrophotographers. It’s not just beautiful—it’s a window into the early stages of star formation and the delicate dance between starlight and cosmic dust.

The Iris Nebula is a bright blue reflection nebula located in the fertile star fields of the constellation Cepheus. The nebula is approximately 6 LY across and 1300 LY from Earth. The gas at the core of the nebula is lit up by a young, bright star which reflects off the gas and interstellar dust around it.The nebula is surrounded by a giant clouds of dust and cold molecular gas that obscure much of the background stars. This gives the region surrounding the reflection portion of nebula a very "dirty" appearance out of which the bright blue Iris stands out amongst the subdued browns, reds and near black regions.

SH2-174, also known as the Valentine Rose Nebula, is located in Cepheus. It is an unusually shaped ancient planetary nebula. Planetary nebulae are formed when modest sized stars like our Sun near the end of their fuel supply and blow off their outer atmosphere which generally forms an expanding spherical cloud of ionized gasses. The star itself ends up becoming a white dwarf and is usually found near the center of the sphere. This nebula is unique due to how the cloud of gas has acquired an irregular shape as well as the white dwarf being off center (seen here in the center of the blue area). This is due to the interaction of the nebula with the interstellar media.
This dark nebula Barnard 150 is resembling a Walking man in space or like dark Seahorse swimming in the space. It is dense molecular cloud located in Cepheus constellation and about 1200 light years distance. Gear setup: TS140CF @5.2, iOptron CEM70G, ZWO 2600MM @0, Antlia LRGB Pro V Filters.

A framing of the major areas of bright and dark nebulosity in Cygnus and Cepheus, showing pink emission nebulas contrasting with dark dusty regions in the Cygnus and into the Perseus arms of the Milky Way. Cepheus is at upper left; northern Cygnus is at right, with the bright Cygnus starcloud right of centre. The reddening (or yellowing) effects of interstellar dust in the spiral arms of the Milky Way is apparent.
The bright blue star Deneb is right of centre. Just below it and at centre is the North America Nebula, NGC 7000, and its adjacent companion Pelican Nebula, IC 5070. The Gamma Cygni nebulosity complex, IC 1318, is right of centre. The dark Funnel Cloud Nebula in northern Cygnus is at centre. The Veil Nebula supernova remnant, NGC 6960 and 6992-5, is at lower right. The small Cocoon Nebula, IC 5146, is below and left of centre. The Elephant Trunk Nebula, IC 1396, with the adjacent orange "Garnet Star" (aka Mu Cephei) in Cepheus is at upper left. The area is dotted with other smaller emission nebulas in southern Cepheus.
This is a blend of: 14 x 4-minute exposures with the Canon RF28-70mm lens at 43mm and f/2.8 and with the camera at ISO 1600 -- blended with 14 x 4-minute exposures at ISO 3200 with the lens at f/2, with the set taken just prior with the Moon still up, but with an Astronomik 12nm H-Alpha clip-in filter in place, to pick up just the red H-Alpha nebulosity. The camera was the red-sensitive Canon EOS Ra. For the normal "non-H-Alpha" images, the lens was equipped with the 95mm URTH Night light pollution rejecton filter to help enhance the nebulosity even in the broadband images. The H-Alpha set brought out the faintest areas of nebulosity.
I shot this from home August 5, 2022 on a very fine dark transparent night with the field straight overhead. The camera was on the Star Adventurer Mini tracker.
All stacking, alignment, blending and processing done in Photoshop. The H-Alpha set was processed to be monochrome but was blended into the colour stack using a Lighten mode and colorized pinky red with a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Curves and color grading applied to both sets in part using luminosity masks generated with TK8 Actions and Lumenzia. A mild Orton glow effect added with Luminar AI.
