There are many gaseous regions and star clusters around the Milky Way flowing from Cepheus, Cassiopeia to Perseus.
This attractive reddish nebula, IC1805, is unfortunately invisible with our eyes, but very photogenic and one of the largest ones around this field.
The nebula has a span of about one-degree, floating 2500 light years away.
IC1805 shows us a bit warped heart-shape.
You can see a small and bright region in the upper right-hand side, which has an another number of NGC1795.
And the nebula has a neighbor of IC1848 at just east, this couple can be captured with medium-ranged telephoto lenses.
