I live in the northwest of England.What size of telescope would i require to see the cepheus constellation?Constellations are figures created by connecting the dots, that is, figures people create using visible stars. You don't need a telescope to see visible stars! And telescopes generally have very narrow fields of view, so pointing a telescope in the direction of Cepheus (or any other constellation) will show you just a narrow slice of it.
The stars of Cepheus are not particularly bright, but do have some interest, particularly Dela Cephei, a well known and much studied variable star.
To read all about Cepheus, go to wikipedia and enter Cepheus in the search box.What size of telescope would i require to see the cepheus constellation?Constellations are large groups of stars in the sky. You don't need a telescope to see them. In fact they are far too large for any telescope to see the entire thing. You should consult some star charts to get an idea of where Cepheus is and the shape it forms.What size of telescope would i require to see the cepheus constellation?You don't need a scope to see a constellation; it would be too big for the field of view of even a small end scope. Just look up and use your eyes.
