Description

I've got almost a year's worth of photos to edit.  Finally had a nice rainy day to work on this.

This image is an 11 hour exposure of the Cave Nebula which is in the constellation Cepheus.  Cepheus was a king of ancient Aetheopia according to Greek mythology.  This nebula contains emission, reflection, and dark nebulosity and is around 35 lightyears across.  It is about 2500 lightyears away.
