Description

Another couple of small objects for my scope - IC4954 and IC4955 are small reflection nebulae (2.0 x 1.5 arcmin) in the small constellation Vulpecula. The +12.9 nebulae are cca 7000 light years from us. This is still a relatively active star forming region.

From what I've seen there are only a couple of other images of these nebulae on astrobin and not a lot of information on the web, which makes them all the more interesting.
