Description

The small cluster & reflection nebula NGC 7129 & nearby cluster NGC 7142. Often called the Cosmic Rosebud or the Small Cluster Nebula. During the last lunar cycle, as the moon got progressively brighter in the sky I gave up on galaxies and switched to star clusters. Trying to find something in the sky away from the moon I looked to the north and found this combo cluster and reflection nebula in Cepheus. Since the moon was out, and I'm just using a DSLR, I didn't quite get to capture the faintest of details but pleased with how it turned out.
