Description

It is my first time on this target during the 2 moonless clear nights last week. (Rare!!). I think I am stretching the limit of the EDGE8 f/10 (slow) system under my Bortle 7 backyard on this broadband target.  

Reflection nebula NGC7129 in Cepheus.

This is a nursery for young stars and these stars have blown a large, oddly shaped bubble in the molecular cloud that once surrounded them at their birth.
