Description

Open cluster NGC 225 and reflection nebula VdB 4.

My favorite regions of space are where dark molecular clouds mix with rich ionized hydrogen and this area is a pretty good example of that. The universe was even kind enough to throw in an open cluster for good measure. There is so much going on in this field but ultimate I had to crop it down to a little less than 2/3 of the field because the stars are so dense. Swipe right for a closer loon at central dust. Hope ya'll like it.
