Description

VDB141 is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Cepheus. Sometimes referred to as the ghost nebula. This very faint nebula was listed for the first time in Sidney van den Bergh’s catalog of reflection nebulae, published in 1966. Several stars are embedded in the nebula. Their light gives it a ghoulish brown color.
