ABOUT:Very Dim
Combination Reflection and Emmision Nebula in Camelopardalis
vdB 15 (and 14) are classified as refleciton nebula. However, there is a surrounding reddish component in the nebulosity and as a result, the object has a faint reddish hue.
vdB 14(to the Right of center) is the oblong-shaped, blue reflection nebula in Camelopardalis near vdB 15(to the Left of center). It is illuminated by the very bright mag 4.2 supergiant (B9Ia) star shown in the image (HD21291). Both vdB 14 and 15 are embedded in the Cam OB1 group of type O-B3 stars and supergiants.
