The Ghost Nebula (designated Sh2-136, VdB 141) is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Cepheus. It lies near the cluster NGC 7023. Looking at the adjacent image, the nebula's name is easily understood. The Ghost Nebula is referred to as a globule (catalogued CB230) and over 2 light-years across. There are several stars embedded ...
NGC 3242 (also known as the Ghost of Jupiter, Eye Nebula or Caldwell 59) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Hydra.. William Herschel discovered the nebula on February 7, 1785, and catalogued it as H IV.27.

Map showing the location of NGC 6369. Little Ghost Nebula, also known as NGC 6369, is a planetary nebula in the constellation Ophiuchus. [2] It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. [3] [4] [5] Round and planet-shaped, the nebula is also relatively faint.
It is a photodissociation region that is being sculpted by γ Cas. Light from the star is being scattered from the nebula at an angle of 154° toward the Earth. [6] There is no evidence of triggered star formation in this nebula. [5] The warmer component of this nebula has a mean temperature of 740 ± 47 K, while the cooler component is 207 ± ...
Map showing location of NGC 6939. NGC 6939 is located near the border of the constellations Cepheus and Cygnus, at the southwest corner of Cepheus. The open cluster is located two degrees southwest of Eta Cephei and 2/3° northwest from the spiral galaxy NGC 6946, which has visual magnitude 8.7. They appear as two patches of haze with 10x50 ...
