      Description

      The main target in the field is a long, extended molecular cloud locates in the Constellation Lacerta, which seems to be connected to LBN420 to its northeast. NGC 7223, a small galaxy near the bottom of the FoV, seems to be the only object referenced in a popular catalogue, hence mentioned in the title. You will find numerous galaxies scattered around if you pan around, adding some fun to explore this lively area.

      There is a very faint layer of H-alpha signal in this area, and I am exaggerating here even with 13hrs of H-a data, to add some color to this rather plain cloud of dust. The structure of the clouds is pretty fascinating, and it is highlighted in this rendition.
