Cave Nebula sh2-155 Widefield

[evansg]

I love this target. I had never shot it using a wide field setup. Nebulae and star color match perfectly in this frame.

The Cave Nebula, Sh2-155 or Caldwell 9, is a dim and very diffuse bright nebula within a larger nebula complex containing emission, reflection, and dark nebulosity. It is located in the constellation Cepheus.

Nice wide field work there, kept the image under good control and FoV reveals a nice image.

Great image; I love the wide field look. There's much going on "outside the cave".

This is excellent, such a colourful panorama - and if you have never tried imaging this one I can say it's also quite faint!
