 An absolutely stunning object photographically, this scientifically interesting region contains the star cluster NGC7129 off to the lower left of the image, the blue reflection nebula NGC7133, a stunning yellow reflection nebula LBN497 just below the bright blue core, and topping it off, the deep red small nebula in the field are Herbig Haro objects.

This kicks off the new shooting season, the past two or three months of heavy monsoon rains and dense clouds have made it impossible to do any CCD imaging here in Arizona. Now the storms have cleared out, the spectacular falls skies beckon!
