The Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146)
CraigAndTammy
by Craig and Tammy Temple The Cocoon Nebula, or Caldwell 19, is actually a collection of objects. The cluster of stars is IC 5146, the emission & reflection nebulae are Sh2-125 and the surrounding dark (absorption) nebula is Barnard 168. It is relatively bright at magnitude 7.20 in the constellation...

Sharpless 2-155 region (including the Cave Nebula)
Enchanted Skies
The area surrounding Sh2-155 is a beautiful and colorful nebula region in Cepheus containing reflection, emission and dark nebulae. The nebula is contained within the Caldwell observing list, but is quite faint; however, it is a fascinating photographic target. The Cave Nebula (Sh2-155) is contained...

Melotte 15 in HaRGB
CraigAndTammy
Approximately 7500 light years away in the central region of The Heart Nebula (IC 1805), lies a cluster of young hot stars known as Melotte 15. The clouds of dust and gas in and around Melotte 15 are sculpted by the violent stellar winds and cosmic radiation emanating from the young cluster. Melotte...
