Description

This object is supposed to have a reflection nebula in blue around the star in the center at the bottom, but I cannot bring it out in my light pollution.

This has a good image:

Maybe for you all with the heavy metal and the dark sites.....

From: http://galaxymap.org/cat/view/sharpless/150

Sh 2-150 appears to be part of the Cepheus bubble, the expanding ring of gas and dust surrounding the star cluster NGC 7160 and the Cep OB2 association. The much brighter nebula Sh 2-131 is part of the same structure.
