What is this object?

[michaelmorris]

It is undoubtedly due to me being a complete numpty, but I'm struggling to identify the area of nebulosity towards the left hand side of this image.  I think I've worked out that the image is centred near M52 on the Cepheus/Cassiopeia border . Image taken with 50mm lens on Canon 1100D DSLR.  I've tried uploading it to Astrobin, but it can't plate solve the image.

Thanks

My guess: bubble nebula (NGC 7635). It's Close according to my sky atlas.

I love the amount of stars in this, brilliant image Michael, what's the exposure time on this please?

[Ibbo!]

is it CED 214 and NGC7822?

[Thalestris24]

+1 for ngc7822. Wish I could pick up so many stars!

I agree, I think the area of nebulosity at the left is made up of two objects - the emission nebulae NGC 7822 & Cederblad 214

ps. wonderful number of stars and great colours - a very nice image, well done

Yes, that's NGC 7822 on the left, big, quite bright and rarely imaged it seems. I had a go at shooting it last year with a 135mm lens:

This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing

By the way, I find this zoomable Milky Way panorama useful for finding targets for my camera lenses, it's what first brought NGC 7822 to my attention.
