A rich region for star clusters and nebulas on the Cassiopeia-Cepheus border.
A rich region for star clusters and nebulas on the Cassiopeia-Cepheus border. The bright open star cluster Messier 52 is at upper left, and below it is the Bubble Nebula, NGC 7635. Below the Bubble is the aptly named Lobster Claw Nebula, Sharpless 2-157 showing subtle shades of red and pink. The small bright nebula to the right of the Bubble is the unnamed NGC 7538. The large nebula at upper left is the Cave Nebula, Sharpless 2-155. The entire field is filled with faint nebulosity as well as small intense red patches. A small yellowish star cluster at lower right is NGC 7419.
