Region of Cefeo

The Cepheus constellation seems to me like a never-ending region of deep-space filled with stardust, molecular clouds, and a wide variety of nebulae, both emission and reflective nebulae, and above all dark nebulae.

In this wide field image I have tried to frame and capture as best as possible this very special region of Cefeo.

In the image, we can appreciate the emission nebula IC1396 "Elephant's Nest", SH2-129 "Bat and Squid Nebula", or Barnard 150 "Seahorse" as the most prominent and all with different compounds of gases and dust.
