A complex of faint nebulae and star clusters in Cepheus.


A complex of faint nebulae and star clusters in Cepheus. While this exposure shows the field as one large nebula, the arc-shaped region at top is catalogued as NGC 7822. The region below with dark lanes through it is Cederblad 214. The loose open cluster at right is NGC 7762, with the small yellowish cluster (dimmed by interstellar dust) is King 11. A small, sparse cluster at the centre of Ced214 is Berkeley 59.
