Another gem from the Cassiopeia's Costellation ... a large HII Bubble , the Soul Nebula (Sharpless 2-199, LBN 667) .. and a surprise in bottom right corner: the Maffei 2 galaxy. Discovered by italian astronomer Paolo Maffei in 1971. Usually visible in infrared image because obscured by the Milky Way's foreground dust clouds.
