Description

DG 181, DG 182 (Dorschner+Gurtler catalogue) are two tiny blue reflection nebulas located between the LDN´s 1175 and 1184, into the cloud TGU640 of Cepheus constellation..Rarely imaged (or never imaged ? ) the area also contains IR objects such as IRAS 22148+6033,IRAS 22151+6040,IRAS 22158+6041 ans X-Ray objects as 1RXS J221635.3+604813 .

The whole area is inmersed into a mix of dust and reflections , making it a difficult task for astrophotographers. A lot of hours were invested in order to present it with some detail and colour.

Many thanks to Sakib Rasool for pointing these targets.
