Description

This is a two panel mosaic of Sh2-155, the Cave Nebula. Wikipedia describes it as a diffuse nebula in the constellation Cepheus. It is in an active star formation region some 2400 light years from earth. I've chosen to process this image in HSO (i.e. the Canada, France Hawaii Telescope palette). I usually prefer to process my narrow band images in SHO but I thought, that in this case, the purple gold and red of the HSO worked better and possibly  just a little bit different.
