This beautiful pair of reflection nebulae is only a small part of a large cloud of dust in the constellation Camelopardalis (Giraffe).  They contain reflection nebulae (blue), emission nebulae (red) and dark clouds (brownish-black). Although the emission nebulae component is rather subtle, it can be seen as a light red region in the lower part of the image.

VDB 15 is the large nebula on the right side, which surrounds the magnitude 5 star CE Cam. VDB14 the sickle-shaped nebula in blue on the left side. The abundant colorful stars in this field appear very dramatic, and there is occasionally a hint of blue and magenta nebulae surrounding some of them. In addition, one can easily see a significant decrease in star density on the right side of the image, due to dense dust clouds.

An interesting fact is that there is another magnitude 5 star in the picture above CE Cam. But it is completely hidden under the dust clouds. This star can only be seen in infrared light.
