SH2-155 (Cave Nebula)

A break from Narrow Band imaging again - although I did manage to throw some Ha into the mix in the end.

Beautiful - just beautiful Brendan!

One could get lost in this picture. Having checked it out on your website too the detail is incredible. Not only that, but your commentary on this object was a real interesting read. I didn't realise that there was a stellar nursery in Cepheus. 

As always very many thanks for producing a fabulous image, and sharing your talent with us. if you haven't figured out yet, I've become a bit a fanboy of your work Brendan : )

Great stuff, and clear skies to you,

Darren.

Thank you so much for the comments Darren. I knew that an RGB image (for the most part) would go down OK here. (I think Richard would do a better job with RGB data than I ever could though).
That aside, I am really pleased that you enjoyed looking in again on the website and even though NB imaging will always be my preference, I will try from time to time to put some more RGB images up.  Neighbours are getting better at putting their lights off.....so looking forward to longer nights ahead

So that's the Cave Nebula, Brendan.
As Darren has already said, beautiful colours in your image!

Speaking of caves, does anyone remember the Jaffa cake ad back in the 1970's?
Ha Ha!
They suggested we should find the Jaffa cakes at the back of the cave. Lol!
We all love Jaffa cakes, don't we?

Clear skies from Aubrey.

Thanks Aubrey.....I laughed when I read about the Jaffa Cake ad.....but I don't recall it. I never really liked Jaffa Cakes....butI bet now that you did and probably still do   

Correct, Brendan!
I even savage a small packet of Jaffa cakes whenever there is an anniversary of an Total Solar Eclipse which I successfully observed in the past.
That's because of a TV ad which appeared in the late 1990's and then during the first decade of the 21st century.
Maybe you saw that ad, Brendan?
It involved a school teacher standing in front of a children's class saying the words: Full Moon, Half Moon and Total Eclipse.
