Description

NGC 7129 is a reflection situated in Cepheus, at around 3300 l.y. It also contains a star cluster that illuminates the nebula. The red-pink crescent formations at the poles of the rosebud are created by energetic jets from the stars. The image also contains NGC 7142, the star cluster on the lower right. Even if the exposure was not very deep, I was able to present the dark molecular clouds around the nebula, which are rarely seen in the images containing NGC 7129.
