VdB152 Reflection Nebula

Also from the lucky sky in the Alps of the previous post. I spent two days for this shot, deep enough, to vdb152. A reflection nebula that you found at the center of the photo. The fact is that this nebula is located in the constellation of Cepheus, place notoriously dense of dust for the presence of vast molecular clouds. As a bonus in the frame I also picked up a planetary nebula (DeHt 5) and a supernova remnant (the strip of hydrogen that crosses almost vertically the photo). In the version at the highest resolution, that I was able to make available, the supernova renmant passes over the VdB with two slender threads of red gas. I have struggled to find the black point for the sky ....

I hope you like this proposal:

All the best,
