Description

NGC 7023 is a reflection nebula, i.e. it reflects the light of some nearby stars; probably the main star responsible for its illumination is the seventh magnitude star, cataloged as HD 200775, which would be surrounded by the nebula, together with other less brilliant stars born from its dust and which form the open cluster. The nebula is probably about 1400 light years from us and measures about 6 al. It is probably part of the vast Cepheus Molecular Cloud Complex.
