The Constellation Cassiopeia

Cassiopeia was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century Greek astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations today. It is easily recognizable due to its distinctive 'W' shape, formed by five bright stars.

Cass is a nice place to aim a wide FOV and just wander around visually. Great pic!
