Description

Reworked old data - NOT submitted for IOTD review.

Reworking old data again, this time from 2020. Just keeping myself "Astro Amused" - waiting on some equipment repair.
Sh2-155 (Cave Nebula) lies at the edge of the Cepheus B cloud (part of the Cepheus molecular cloud), and is ionized by young stars from the Cep OB3 association. Although Sh2-155 is relatively faint for amateur observation, some of its structure may be seen visually through a moderately sized telescope under dark skies.
