This beautiful pairing
of dissimilar objects in Cassiopiea is seldom framed with both
in one shot, and reveals that the pair is immersed in plenty
of red hydrogen in the background. The incredible richness of
the MilkyWay in this part of the sky is evident!
The second wider field
image is a "Context" shot, taken simultaneously with
a field precisely 5x wider to put our two primary targets into
context in the surrounding star field. Note to the upper left
we have the Gamma Cassiopiea nebulas and below NGC281 shines
brightly. The Owl cluster and Dolphin Nebula are surrounded by
a wreath of red nebulosity.
