NGC 7142

Sedro-Woolley, Wa.

Image center RA: 21h45m15.66s DE:+65°50'43.0" Field of view 0.379 X 0.569 degrees.
NGC 7142 is an open star cluster located a reported 6 to 7 thousand light years away in the constillation Cepheus.
The stellar cloud in the area of NGC7129 is notorious for obscuring the view of the open cluster.
Kathy and I haven't been able to figure out if it looks more like a fish, bird, or arrowhead.
