Description

This is a HaRGB image that I processed from data from the Liverpool Telescope with a cryptic name on the subs "bd65_1637", so I had no idea what it was during processing. The coordinates are 21 42 50, +66 06 46.

Plate solving by Astrobin solved the mystery: it is NGC 7129

NGC 7129 is a reflection nebula located 3,300 light years away in the constellation Cepheus. A young open cluster is responsible for illuminating the surrounding nebula. A recent survey indicates the cluster contains more than 130 stars less than 1 million years old [all according to Wikipedia]
