Photographed this region of the sky together with Cygnus Star Cloud. When Cygnus was low enough, I switched to this part of the sky because it was still rising in the sky and the moon had set. [Wikipedia] - NGC 281, IC 11 or Sh2-184 is a bright emission nebula and part of an H II region in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia and is part of the Milky Way's Perseus Spiral Arm.
