Description

About the target
Van den Bergh 14 (LBN 681) and 15 (LBN 682) are reflection nebulae situated in the constellation Camelopardalis.
Both are illuminated by two supergiant stars located at the center of the expansive star-forming region Cam OB 1. The reflection nebula VdB 15 exhibits an additional red emission component, contributing to its distinctive pinkish coloration. In the bottom, is a portion of the red emission nebula sh2-202.

Image Acquisition
I had no plans of working on this target. This was a side project where I acquired data about 1 or 2 hours per imaging session. I was not confident if my telescope could capture the details in this nebula, but I am glad it did. After realizing the details and richness of this nebula I regret not spending more time on this target. I still could add more data to this, but I decided to draw line and focus on other targets.
