ngc7129

NGC 7129 is a reflection nebula located 3,300 light years away in the constellation Cepheus.  A young open cluster is responsible for illuminating the surrounding nebula.  A recent survey indicates the cluster contains more than 130 stars less than 1 million years old.  The open cluster NGC 7142 is located just half a degree from NGC 7129 (up and to the left).  From Wikipedia.
