Nebulae LBN 552 and Cohen 129 in Cepheus

author: Tom Davis/Novapix

Image Size 300 DPI: 25 * 20 cm

This region of the sky has been rarely imaged and is largely unexplored.This may be the first detailed image taken by an amateur. This region in Cepheus does offer delicate reflection nebulae that have been cataloged by Beverly T. Lynds, University of Arizona, in 1965. This catalog was made from studying the red and blue plates taken by the 48-inch Palomar Sky Survey. Note the chain or cascade of stars located in the mid-right of the image. Cohen 129 is the small yellow nebula just slightly up and to the right of center.
