Description

NGC7822 sits at the heart of the larger "cosmic question mark" region (Sharpless 171).     The pretty star cluster near the top of the frame is Berkley 59.    This rich star forming complex contains a number also contains a number of Lynd's LBN and LDN objects.  

The pillar like objects really caught my interest even though I originally intended to frame this wider to pull in the cluster NGC 7766.   So I've included the wider field shots in the revisions.
