The big W up in the night sky, very hard to miss once you have seen it. One of the lighthouse constellations that is a starting point for many of my star hopping treasure hunts.

Interesting Objects

Near Cassiopeia, there are not that much interesting objects to discover. There are 2 small rather boring open star clusters, but then there is the jewel of the Northern Hemisphere night sky: the Bubble Nebula.

• M52 – Salt & Pepper Cluster
• M103 – Nameless Open Cluster
• NGC 7635 – Bubble Nebula
