NGC7129 - Reflection Nebula

“First Light” with new scope - Stellarvue SVX 130T - R (FL 920 mm / .84 as/px). Round stars in all the corners - good sign. This scope has almost twice the focal length and twice the resolution of my original 80mm. I think the resolution is the near the max that my local seeing will usually allow. Image detail seems to be better than my last scope - 102 mm - so cropping will be possible. Guiding seems a little looser but still within .4 -.6 as/px.

NGC7129 - reflection Nebula in dusty Milky Way area of Constellation Cepheus The King. About 3,000 LY away.
Blue is reflection of new born stars. Tiny red crescents at 10 & 5 o'clock are HH objects - hydrogen gas shocked by energetic jets of energy from new star formation. NGC7142 - towards bottom left - is older star cluster.

Did not try to minimize the stars during processing and did not crop the image.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
