Description and Details: vdB 14 and vdB 15 are two reflection nebulae in the constellation Camelopardalis (the Giraffe). Both are illuminated by two blue supergiant stars located at the center of the much larger star-forming region Cam OB1. I managed to accumulate 19 hours of integration time (12 hours in RGB and 7 hours in Ha) over 5 nights.
