The Wizard

The Wizard Nebula is a collection of interstellar gas surrounding the open star cluster, NGC 7380. It lies approximately 7200 light-years away from Earth and has an apparent magnitude of 7.2 in the constellation Cepheus. While impossible to observe this deep sky object visually from my backyard, it is well within reach of my current astrophotography equipment.
In total it is 12 hours on the Wizard nebula, processed in a color palette that chromatically recalls the Hubble palette.
From my sky it would have required perhaps another ten hours, but for this year I am satisfied with the improvement.
See you next year dear Wizard!
