About This Image

The constellation Cepheus is home to many exciting dark and emission nebula. In this direction of the fall night sky we find ourselves looking perpendicular into the spiraling arm of the Milky Way. This is a photo of a bright star forming region designated as NGC 7822 and LDN1266. Here one can see wonderful dust lanes against the background of bright emissions from clouds of Ha Oiii and Sii.
