This is a photo of the constellation Cassiopeia taken from the very dark skies of Vermont, USA. This was taken on 6 August 1994 at Stellafane. A host of deep sky objects are visible in this photo. The main stars in the "W" of the constellation were enlarged slightly using Aldus Photostyler (otherwise they were difficult to recognize immediately among the myriad of fainter stars!). The photo was taken with a 50mm F2 Pentax lens stopped to F4, exposure was about 5 minutes. Guiding was piggyback on a Celestron CG-11.
