Far off constellation of Cepheus? Don’t all the constellations extend equally far off?

On average, yes!

But, the furthest star you can usually see without a telescope is Deneb in Cygnus at ~1500 l.y. Everything else you can see is closer, so, nothing is really that distant compared to the rest of the Galaxy.
