Description

NGC 7822 (Sharpless 171)

This Beautiful Nebula Rich in HA and less so in OIII and SII in the all familiar Hubble SHO Palate captures the complexities and variation in detail and color. With the Blues and Golds and Dark Nebulas brining together the depth of this stunning Nebula. Captured over three nights for a total of 20 hours near new moon in Arizona check out my newest image of the core of NGC 7822 also known as S-2-171 feel free to like and comment if you like this photo or if you dont feel free to share your thoughts as well. Enjoy! 


NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sharpless 171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59. The complex is believed to be some 800–1000 pc distant with the younger components aged no more than a few million years. The complex also includes one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc of the Sun, namely BD+66 1673, which is an eclipsing binary system consisting of an O5V that exhibits a surface temperature of nearly 45,000 K and a luminosity about 100,000 times that of the Sun. The star is one of the primary sources illuminating the nebula and shaping the complex's famed pillars of creation-type formations, the elephant trunks.
