One of my favorite targets in the night's sky, NGC7822! I finally had a good run of clear nights and almost no smoke in the sky. So, I was able to get about 17 hours on this target, my largest project this summer. Very happy with how this one turned out, hope you enjoy!
NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sharpless 171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59. The complex is believed to be some 800–1000 pc distant, with the younger components aged no more than a few million years.
