Notes

vdB 14 (LBN 681) and vdB 15 (LBN 682) are reflection nebulae in the constellation Camelopardalis. Both are illuminated by two supergigant stars which lies in the middle of the much bigger star forming region Cam OB 1.

The reflection nebula vdB 15 has also a red emission component, this results in a more pinkish color.

On the right a small part of the red emission nebula sh2-202 is visible.
