VDB158 - Nebula in Andromeda


The image above shows the reflection nebula VDB158.  The raw data suggests that faint dust extends over the majority of this field from the main column, though this image only shows the brightest portions. In addition to VDB158, planetary nebula PK110-12.1, and numerous galaxies including PGC 71851 and PGC 2306792 can be seen in the image. These objects are more visible in the full resolution views below.
