Cassiopeia is one of the 'umistakable' constellations. It is circumpolar from the UK, meaning it is visible all year round as it swings round the Pole Star almost exactly opposite the Plough. There are a host of deep sky objects, mainly open clusters, with many, by their proximity to the main stars of this bright constellation, very easy to find.
