Description

The red Ha nebula Sh2-126 reminds me of a “feather duster” in which LBN 437 - the Gecko nebula is caught.
If you look closely at the image, you can see countless PGC-galaxies that are millions lightyears away while the molecular clouds and the Ha emission nebula Sh2-126, which are “only” about 1,200 ly away, are comparatively close objects in our galaxy .
At the bottom of the picture you see the well-known NGC 7331 galaxy group with the strange nickname “The Deer Lick Galaxygroup”.
The brightness of the galaxy PGC 69055 even penetrates the Ha nebula Sh2-126.

Revision "B" shows the annoated Image.

Lens settings: Nikkor @2.8 with f4 aperture diaphragm and Pentax @4
