Description

This object, also known as LBN 630, is a small HII emission region located 5000 light years away in the constellation of Cassiopeia.

Many dark nebulae are seen throughout the image as well as faint blue reflection nebulae. Most of these other nebula are not designated. The few that are designated are dark nebula LDN 1317 (at the center) and Dobashi 3792 (check mark shape on the right side).

Not much has been written about this object. I like the shapes of the dark silhouetted clouds at the center, as well as the colorful surrounding star field.
