Remarks:

The bluish reflection nebula with the two embeded double stars is IC 4601 (vdB 102,vdB 103), the yellowish reflection nebula is vdB 101. The two reflection nebulae appear so different due to the different temperatures of the illuminating stars.

 

 

Bemerkungen:

Der bläuliche Reflexionsnebel mit den beiden eingebetteten Doppelsternen ist IC 4601 (vdB 102, vdB 103), der gelbliche Reflexionsnebel ist vdB 101. Durch die unterschiedliche Temperatur der beleuchtenden Sterne wirken die beiden Reflexionsnebel so verschieden.
