Description

Roughly central in this image is open cluster NGC 7129 - popularly known as the Cosmic Rosebud - and the surrounding nebulosity is variously known as LBN 497, vdB 146, Ced 196, [RK68] 112, and [KPS2012] MWSC 3549. In the lower left is the open cluster NGC 7142. The distance of NGC 7129 is 3,300 light years and the distance of NGC 7142 is 3,980 light years. Within and around the nebulosity of the Cosmic Rosebud  are [RK68] 110, reflection nebula, several Herbig-Haro objects and a Red Nebulous Object RNO 138. There are several dark nebulae and Molecular clouds. There are some background galaxies - the only one with a distance estimate is 2MFGC 16419 whose distance is about 380 million light years. These objects and some of the brighter stars are identified in the annotated image.  Vertical FOV is approximately 88 arc minutes. Full size image scale is 1.57 arcsec/pix.
