Van Den Bergh 14 and 15 in Camelopardalis. ( Astronomy Magazine Picture of the Day, Oct 16,2013.)
This beautiful pair of reflection nebulae are a small part of a large dust cloud in Camelopardalis. They contain both reflection (blue) and emission (red) components, although the emission component is subtle and can be seen as the peripheral pale red regions in the above LRGB image. VDB 15 is the large nebula on the left, surrounding the magnitude 5 central star C Cam, while VDB14 is the sickle-shaped nebula on the lower right.

Abell 85, aka CTB 1, or LBN576, is a large supernova remnant (SNR) located in Cassiopeia. Originally catalogued by George Abell as a planetary nebula, it soon became evident that it was actually a SNR. It was also recognized as a radio source and acquired the alternative designation CTB 1. Abell 85 has relatively weak [OIII] and H-Beta emission compared to the "traditional" supernova-remnant lines of H-alpha, [NII], and [SII]. For visual observers, the gain in contrast using [O III] and H-Beta filters appears to be minimal. In fact, this object is often considered as one of the most challenging for visual observation [Ultimate challenges] and remains a good test for CCD photography.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Astronomy/Night-Over-Ontario/i-KXm5zmg/4/b91b4bd7/Ti/ABELL%2085%207%20BEST%20with%20LR-Ti.jpg)
