NGC 225 (The Sailboat Cluster) and vdB4 - Open Cluster and Reflection Nebula in Cassiopeia

The sparkling Sailboat Cluster sits in a field filled with dust, some of which is illuminated blue by nearby hot stars. Steve Mandel and I gathered 25 hours of data through clear, red, green and blue filters to produce this image.
