Description

From Wikipedia:
NGC 7129 is a reflection nebula located 3,300 light years away in the constellationCepheus. A young open cluster is responsible for illuminating the surrounding nebula.[2] A recent survey indicates the cluster contains more than 130 stars less than 1 million years old.[citation needed] NGC 7129 is located just half a degree from nearby cluster NGC 7142.

I captured this data in July of 2022, but only found time to process it recently. It rained so much in the SF Bay area the last 6 months that I mostly paused this hobby. Let's hope for clear skies this summer.
