On this page I collect my observations of the galactic nebula Caldwell 9 (Cave Nebula; Sh2-155) in the constellation Cepheus.

 

Introduction

The galactic nebula Caldwell 9 (Cave Nebula) in the constellation Cepheus is a diffuse nebula within a larger nebula complex containing emission, reflection, and dark nebulosity. With the Vespera Pro, it can be observed as a mosaic together with M 52, NGC 7538, and NGC 7635.
