Description

This is a narrowband image (SHO palette) of the very faint emission nebula in the Cepheus constellation. The stars that induce the ionization of nebular gases are very hot and massive, including two Wolf-Rayet stars, as well as a spectral class O8.5V and a dozen of class B stars.

Imaging this nebula was very challenging from the inner city.
