Description:
VdB 14 & 15 are a really nice pair of reflection nebulae in Camelopardalis, though containing a little bit of emission components, too. In this 400mm widefield I was able to capture the large nebula Sh2-202 and the open cluster Stock 23 as well. To bring out the emission parts, I added some H-alpha data to the RGB picture. Nevertheless, all objects are very faint, and so I invested a total of 13 hours at f/2 to gather enough data for processing.
