Comment: December 22 was extremely cold; temperature dropped to - 18 degrees C (about 0 degrees F). I captured two objects that night, and NGC7662 was one of them. After some heavy processing I managed to get lots of details visible in the nebula, e.g. the small (about 2") knots of gas at the nebula's edges.
