Description

Sh2-155 aka the Cave Nebula in Cepheus is part of a large nebula complex.   Additional dark and reflection nebula can be found here making this a really interesting target.    For this shot I removed the RGB stars early on, processed starless RGB and Lum data separately and combined the stars back in towards the end of the work flow.  Made use of both StarXterminator and NoiseXterminator in processing.   Finished in photoshop.    One of my versions includes a square format rotated 90 degrees.   Not sure which I like better.
