Description

A hot bright star designated SAO 19158 illuminates the gas in this blue reflection nebula, which is surrounded by a large field of interstellar dust.

NGC 7023 actually refers to the open cluster of stars contained within the reflection nebula, which itself has the designation LBN 487.

Took me a long time to process this one, life got in the way for almost a year.
