NGC 7380 - HOO Bicolor (Deepan Vishal)

NGC 7380 - HOO Bicolor

Revision title: Denoise + Dark structures enhance

NGC 7380, located in the constellation Cepheus about 7,000 light-years from Earth within the Milky Way Galaxy. The star cluster is embedded in a nebula, which spans some 110 light-years. The stars of NGC 7380 have emerged from this star-forming region in the last 5 million years or so, making it a relatively young cluster.
The radiation and stellar winds of the cluster’s young stars are responsible for creating the nebula’s shape. The ultraviolet light from the luminous type O and B stars formed within the molecular cloud ionizes the nebula’s hydrogen, which in turn re-emits light in the red part of the spectrum. While the nebula will dissipate within a few million years, some of the stars formed within it will likely outlive our Sun. Before it disappears, the nebula will produce many more stars.
The size of the nebula is comparable to the size of the moon seen from Earth. It's nearest and prominent neighbors are Iris Nebula (NGC 7023), Cave Nebula (Sharpless 155), Elephant’s Trunk Nebula (IC 1396A) and the famous Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) in Cassiopeia.

About the image Acquisition -
I never intended to acquire or process this image this year. This image was acquired in bits and pieces in the last couple of months while acquiring my other targets.
I imaged 1 hour of data now and then during the meridian flip window of my main target.
Close to 16 hours of H and O data.
Processing the stars was bit different from my usual routine and I think this time I have star colors closer to real colors compared to my previous HOO images.

I hope you like it. Comments and feedback welcome!

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
