Description

NGC7129 Small Cluster Nebula (Cosmic Rosebud) HaRGB....A reflection nebula located 3,300 light years away in the constellation Cepheus. Tried this one after seeing some very nice images of it on the big wall. Wikipedia shows a pink rosebud shaped cloud that can be obtained with infrared processing (that I don't understand but looks interesting to investigate). I found this one difficult and took a lot of crop to get up close. Did not get the results hoped for but that's OK, baseline established...Transparency went "below average" on "Astrospheric Weather" just before I wheeled the scope from the garage. So smokey here for so long that I set up anyway.
