Cassiopeia mosaic gets larger, now up to Cepheus
I started this imaging project at Spring season 2020m now I have shot more frames for this active region of the sky. At center of the photo lays the Bubble and cave nebula At lower left locates the Cederblad 214 and just few degrees to right from it lays the supernova remnant CTB1, it can be seen as a thin ring like formation. The Wizard nebula can be seen at upper right corner of the image. Note. there is a moon as a scale at a lower left corner of the image. This is a large area of space and I I have now join this mosaic image to a large one from 2012. I will continue this mosaic soon!
There is an interesting looking dim and large circular formation at center left, there is a bright star at almost center of it. Could this be an uncataloged supernova remnant?
Total exposure time is now around 150 hours, if older exposures are included. with my current wide field imaging system build around the Tokina AT-x 300 mm f2.8 camera optics. Astro Don 50x50 mm square narrowband filters, 5nm H-alpha, 3nm O-III and 3nm S-II. Camera is a massive Apogee Alta U16.
This mosaic has now twenty individual frame stitched seamlessly together,

Image is in mapped colors from a light from the ionized elements, hydrogen = green, sulfur = red and oxygen = blue. NOTE, there is an image of the Moon at the same scale in lower left corner.

It looks like.... a collection of my photos as I see them
We have had a solid cloud cover, up here 65N, over two months now. My new imaging system stands useless at the rooftop, very frustrating.
We are easily seeing quasi logical forms in random shapes since we have a most powerful shape recognition machine in our brains. Based on previous phenomena, I made a funny collection out of my photos. There is an original version of my photo and same photo as I see it in my head. Part of the images are named after my own observations and some are commonly known nicknames. NOTE. All of the astronomical photos in this blog post are originally taken by me.
It looks like...
