LBN 552


-Amenophis-

Recommended Posts

Hello, 
 
This nebular region in Cepheus sits just over 11 degrees from Polaris, and largely consists of a diffuse dark nebula and bright nebula cataloged by Beverly T. Lynds in 1965 as LDN 1228 and LBN 552, respectively. Near the center of the image sits a unique orange reflection nebula, cataloged both as GN 21.00.4 and Cohen 129, which appears as a hill popping from the dimmer diffuse nebula region. This frame shows only part of the LBN 552 and LDN 1228 structures, which cover a much larger area and themselves are part of an even larger system of clouds in this area of the Milky Way.
 
Thank you very much
