Region West of Sh2-155 (Cave Nebula)

This is a star forming region in constellation Cepheus about 2400 light years from earth.
I moved a bit away from the brighter Cave Nebula to catch some less frequently imaged dark clouds and reflection nebulae.
To see their catalogue numbers swipe to the end.
I have selected a few crops of the image to show a bit more details.
Especially on the bottom we see LDN 1211, LDN 1212 and LBN 522. Dark clouds illuminated from the back by young stars which we cannot see.
Red Herbig-Haro objects 168 and 169 are visible on the top right to the Cave nebula between two small reflection nebulae.
Note that the image was taken with a RASA and has not been flipped. So North is on the left and West is on the bottom.
