Description

I thought this was an interesting area of the sky.  It is not too far from the Heart and Soul nebulas in Cassiopeia.  The bright star cluster at the bottom is Stock 23, about 1200 light-years away.  The brightest portion of the H-a nebulosity is cataloged as LBN676.   I love all the chunky dark dust throughout this region.
