The image at left was taken with a 135 mm telephoto lens and corresponds to the area within the white rectangle in the image above.  The picture above shows the Milky Way from Cygnus along the horizon slanting up to the right to the constellation Cassiopeia at the top edge.  Along the right edge of the above image, Polaris and the little dipper arcing downward are shown.

This image continues up the spine of the Milky Way from the previous image, in the direction of Cepheus and Lacerta.  This area is dominated by the large Messier cluster M39, but there are many other open clusters surrounding it.  The dark nebula that terminates in the Cocoon Nebula stands out well here, as do the many other dark clouds north of NGC 7031 and into Cepheus.  Of the open clusters shown on the image, NGC 7086 and IC 1369 seem like interesting targets for large binoculars or small telescopes.  Unannotated image.
