About this image

This image is one of a series I took this year as I ‘toured' around Cepheus and Cassiopeia.

Taken from my garden in North Essex, this project commenced on 10 July 2020 and following a series of bad weather I was only able to finish it across a further two nights on the 9th and 11th September
