APOD 1.8

The main reason I chose this image is because I thought it was really neat to see a constellation that we had learned as it appears. Because it is impossible for me to visualize what the constellations actually look like, but seeing a picture of Cepheus, even though this is not a naked eye view of it, really puts it into another dimension. But I also really liked the blues and reds of the nebula in this picture, seeing space as it actually is in pictures like this adds so much than if I were to just look at Cepheus from my house in the black sky.
