The constellations Cassiopeia, the queen, and Cepheus, the king, are circumpolar constellations for
the mid-northern latitudes,
which means that they never drop below the horizon. However, they can be seen best when they are high
in the northern sky during fall and winter evenings. Just south of the "W" shape of Cassiopeia
is the famous Perseus Double Cluster. Also visible in this image is Herschel's Garnet Star, a very
red variable star.
