martin@deinol Thanks! Also I searched and found this review which I found helpful for understanding what Cepheus Deluxe is like:

Calico JesseI wasn’t going to back the D&D Traveller project because I’m not particularly happy with the World’s Largest team and I like Mongoose even less, but $350 for four books is ridiculous.
If I wanted to run Traveller more like D&D I’d hack Nimble, but I prefer a Frankenstein made of Classic, T5, and Cepheus anyway.

In trying to explain Traveller to the OSR discord I spent way too much time on this chart.
Short answer: support indie creators there’s awesome stuff in the Cepheus space. And this is the tip of the iceberg.

Starry Time PodcastThis is NGC 2276 -- a beautiful spiral galaxy located in the #constellation #Cepheus

Frank AdlerSh2-171 – The Question Mark Nebula in Cepheus. A two-panel mosaic covering over 100 light-years of active star formation, powered by Berkeley 59 — a cluster just 2 million years old. Its O5V star BD+66 1673 burns at 45,000 Kelvin, sculpting the dark pillars visible throughout the frame. Processed in Hubble Palette (HSO).

Frank AdlerThe Question Mark Nebula
====================
2,600 light-years away in Cepheus, a cosmic question mark is being written in gas and dust. Sharpless 171 (NGC 7822) is an active stellar nursery spanning over 100 light-years, powered by Berkeley 59 — a star cluster just two million years old. Its brightest member, BD+66 1673, burns at nearly 45,000 Kelvin, sculpting the surrounding cloud into the elephant trunks and dark pillars you see here. A two-million-year-old star carving a hundred-light-year nebula. The universe doesn't do things small.
The foreground scatter of stars in the upper part of the frame belongs to NGC 7762 — an unrelated open cluster that is 2.5 billion years old and just happens to share the same patch of sky. Ancient stars looking on as new ones are born.
Two-panel mosaic captured over two nights from Chemnitz, processed in Hubble Palette (HSO). 🔭

Well -- I can't see Queens for #MythologyMonday and *not* talk about the most famous #queen in the #constellations -- Cassiopeia!
Queen Cassiopeia's claim to fame is that time she boasted about being more beautiful than the (50!!) Nereids & was promptly punished by Poseidon by way of flood/sea monster.
