Description

NGC 225 is an open cluster NGC about 2,000 light years
away in the constellation Cassiopeia and was discovered by
Caroline Herschel in 1783. The cluster is very young with an
estimated age of only one to 10 million years.
One of it's stars, the variable star V594 Cas, illuminates
the blue reflection nebula van den Bergh (vdB) 4, which also
cataloged as LBN 604. It seems, that vdB 4 is a remnant from
the cloud that formed the cluster.
