Description

VdB 143 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Cepheus.
The nebula is illuminated by a blue main-sequence star whose
apparent magnitude is 8.27. Its distance is about 3880 light years.

I noticed a very faint hydrogen alpha emission in the center of the nebula
(I only managed to shoot 2 hours Ha) and tried to bring it out.

CS, Tasos
