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 image of northeastern Cygnus, which here centers on the boundary area between Cepheus, Lacerta, and Cygnus.  The main objects here include NGC 7243 in Lacerta, the triangle of stars in the head of Cepheus made up of δ, ε, and ζ, and finally the nebulous region to the lower left of μ Cephei.  Unannotated image.
