Description

Sharpless 2-155, the Cave Nebula, with surrounding bright and dark nebulae, and open cluster NGC 7419 off to the right.  

Conditions were a little tricky, with some wind, and some high clouds scudding over. I've pushed the colour saturation a bit to make it more interesting, although some of the resultant colours might relate as much to gradients caused by clouds rather than what's really there...  but I like it anyway!

I did shoot some narrowband as well, but adding it seems to take away from the dusty detail, so I've left this out.
