A return to astrophotography after a 6 month break due to weather frustrations. Nice region around zeta Cephei with lots of HII regions along with B173-4 B169-171 dark nebula.
The region around zeta Cephei (bottom centre) is designated Sharpless Sh134 and the smaller bright region to the left is Sharpless Sh135
About 3 hours data with the medium format 150mm lens, Atik 490 and Astrodon 3nm Ha filter
