Description:
I first visited this stellar nursery in 2019 with a goal to capture the very faint supernova strands. This revisit uses the LRGB from 2019 with 19 hours of new Ha to help expose the strands a bit more. "Young suns still lie within dusty NGC 7129, some 3,000 light-years away toward the royal constellation Cepheus. While these stars are at a relatively tender age, only a few million years old, it is likely that our own Sun formed in a similar stellar nursery some five billion years ago. Most noticeable are the lovely bluish dust clouds that reflect the youthful starlight. But the compact, deep red crescent shapes are also markers of energetic, young stellar objects. Known as Herbig-Haro objects, their shape and color is characteristic of glowin
