NGC 7380, aka Wizard nebula (Widefield; SHO)

The Wizard Nebula (NGC 7380) is a glowing region of space about 7200 light-years away. Named for its mystical, cloaked appearance, if you’ve got a good imagination then you might see a celestial sorcerer casting spells across the night sky. It’s actually a star-forming region home to young, hot stars that illuminate the surrounding clouds of gas and dust, creating the vivid colors we can see in this astrophoto. Approx. 30 hours of good narrowband data from the remote Telescope Live observatory in Spain. Pre and Post processing in Pixinsight with final touches in Paintshop Pro.
