Description

In this narrow field in the constellation Cassiopeia enveloped by the characteristic Integrated Flux Nebula of the northern constellations, the brilliance of the reflection nebula VDB9 stands out, drawing its light from the star Su Cas. The densest dark clouds LDN 1355-1357-1358 look like a hand asking for help, this pareidolia makes us know as the Helping Hand Nebula.
