Description

Sharpless 2-155 is a diffuse nebula in Cepheus. It is part of a much larger nebula complex made up of emission, reflection, and dark nebula. That is why it responds so well to all types of imaging. I chose narrowband for this image to highlight details in the clouds of the brighter portion of the nebula.
