Description

Nice but fairly faint nebula in constellation Camelopardalis is really a hybrid reflection/ emission entity.  The reflection nebula (blue), emission nebula (red) and dark clouds (brownish-black) are difficult too . The emission  component is rather subtle,  and difficult to image even in Ha.VDB 15  on the right side, around a magnitude 5 star, CE Cam. VDB14 the blueish nebula in blue center left . Plenty of  colorful stars in this field, obvious also a significant decrease in star density on the right side of the image, due to dense dust clouds.
