I pointed the telescope at Cepheus and captured 8 hours of data of NGC 7822. A star forming complex, where hot, young stars and cosmic pillars of gas and dust all seem to be packed into this nebula region. Image data acquired with the Esprit 100 triplet refractor, QHY268C cooled cmos camera, Optolong L-eXtreme filter and NINA. Processed in PixInsight.
