The area near Van den Bergh 141 is a complex of very faint dust and gas in the constellation of Cepheus. Van den Bergh 141, the brightest part of this complex at upper right, is called the Ghost. Full of very faint dust, this area is part of a large molecular cloud named the Cepheus Flare by Edwin Hubble. Some of the faint dust may be glowing in a dim red color from photoluminescence, forming an Extended Red Emission nebula (ERE). These dust grains convert a star's ultraviolet radiation to visible red light. The van den Bergh catalog was published by Sidney van den Bergh in 1966 from a study of the Palomar Sky Survey and contains 158 reflection nebulae.
