IC 1470 is a compact H-II region located in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way. Inside is the small star cluster [BDS2003] 39. The nebula is excited to shine by an O8 V star. Its age is estimated to be one to three million years. Its measured distances from us range from 8 740 to 17 300 light years.
Further east of IC 1470 one comes across three other small star clusters: NGC 7510 at a distance from Earth of 2 075 parsecs and an estimated age of 38 million years. King 19 is located at a distance of 1 967 parsecs and has an estimated age of 360 million years. Kronberger 23 is home to the variable star QT Cephei.
