Description

This is the Wizard Nebula.  It is an open cluster of stars surrounded by an emission nebula.  This is currently my best attempt of this nebula with somewhat challenging conditions.  It has been very hot here in New England, and also windy. I was dealing with temps around 72F and winds clocking in around 9MPH.  The OPT Radian Triad Filter does a great job with challenging skies, and PHD2 guiding kept my Celestron AVX mount on target.
