Description

NGC 7380, Sharpless 142, or Commonly known as the Wizard Nebula. I was going to produce an HOO only image, but after taking an SII sub to see what kind of signal there was I had to incorporate it. The SII signal was significant and much more abundant than many other nebulae. 

I combined the three filters differently to incorporate  more of the SII data. The SII shows up the most along the rim of the bright nebulosity between the mainly blue OIII are and red Ha area. To me this gives the image some depth and a more dynamic colour palate. I am trying to do something different than the Hubble palate with the three main NB filters. I like the result and if a target has a strong SII signal I may try this colour palate again!

I hope you enjoy!
