Description

NGC 7822, better known as the Cosmic Question Mark is a rarely photographed object in the constellation of Cepheus. It consists of an emission nebula (Sharpless 171) and a young cluster of stars (Berkley 59). The object is about 1000 parsecs, or 3'300 light-years, from Earth. The youngest components of the object are estimated to be less than one million years old. The object has a diameter of about 45 light-years.I captured the object during the Perseids and by enormous luck I was able to capture a meteor perfectly in the field of view. I put the meteor on top of the stack of my image with Photoshop. Exactly at the place where I took the meteorite.
