Description
NGC 7129. I spent a few late summer nights on NGC 7129, a quirky, alluring reflection nebula in Cepheus that only recently came to my attention (along with open cluster NGC 7142). It's so hard to capture dust in Bortle 8 skies, but traces I managed here were captured with just a UV/IR filter on three clear and nearly moonless nights. This image combines about 10 hours worth of 2-minute exposures. I would love to spend some more time on this one to bring out even more of the surrounding dark clouds--and even the faint slice of Ha between the cluster and the nebula--when conditions allow.
