Description

NGC 225 is an open cluster in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is located roughly 2 000 light-years from Earth. It is about 100 to 150 million years old.

One of it's stars, the variable star V594 Cas, illuminates the blue reflection nebula van den Bergh (vdB) 4, which also cataloged as LBN 604. It seems, that vdB 4 is a remnant from the cloud that formed the cluster.
