These reflection nebulae are a small part of the large dust cloud in Camelopardalis. While the emmission (red) component is pale comared to the reflection (blue) portion of it, their mingling makes this image one of my favorites. vdB15 is the wide reflection-emission cloud on the left of this image, and vdB14 is the blue cloud on the right side of the image, which is illuminated by the very bright mag 4.2 supergiant (B9Ia) star shown in the image (HD21291).

This image is 1500 x 1129 pixels.
