Description

This is one of a series of three "Halloween" themed nebulas that I have been working on for the last couple of months (Ghost of Cassiopeia, Wizard Nebula and Witch's Broom).  Time to share now that we are getting nearer to the holiday.  The three are all processed using a modified SHO palette.

This Nebula is in the constellation Cepheus.  One of its interesting features is DH Cephei, a spectroscopic binary system consisting of two massive O-type stars that are the primary ionizing source for the surrounding region.
