This framed photograph is perfect for anyone who is interested in astronomy or just gorgeous pieces of art!

Destin Heilman is the astrophographer who took this amazing photograph of Cederblad 214 (pronounced Sed-er-blad) Nebula in Cepheus. Capturing this image required approximately 24 hours of data collection (over several nights) and another 24 hours to process the picture. The image is 13x19 and it is in an 18x24 frame with a brass name plate.  

Cederblad 214 (pronounced Sed-er-blad) Nebula in Cepheus is a bright nebula in the constellation of Cepheus. This rich with star formation displays active pillars and bok globules harboring young protostars. Dust infiltrates the region and adds depth to the giant molecular cloud which lies approximately 3,000 light years away.  The young cluster of stars near the top of the nebula complex (Berkeley 59) as well as others in the nebula are only a few million years old. The prominent star at the bottom of the field (actually an eclipsing binary system) is BD+66 1673, one of the hottest stars known, an O5V type star with a surface temperature of over 45,000 K and a luminosity 100,000 times greater than our Sun.  This star is thought to be providing the primary illumination and irradiation of the nebula and has swept out much of the structure in the surrounding gases.
