The north is at top. The Cave Nebula is a faint region of Hii emission and surrounding dust in Cepheus constellation. This area is rich of colours and fine details. The central "cave-like" structure name the nebula,but notice also the subtle patch of blue reflection nebulosity all around in the field. The star colors are also beautiful, which adds a nice touch to this celestial field.
