Description

The surrounding emission nebulosity is known  as the Wizard Nebula, which spans an angle of 25
The nebula is known as S 142 in the 1959 Sharpless catalog (Sh2-142)
The NGC 7380 complex is located at a distance of approximately 8500 LY from us, in the Perseus arm  of the Milky way

This image is really what we targeted with our fast C14 hyperstar :  being able to complete acquisitions over a couple of hours, not  over a couple of nights .
This Autumn 2023,  weather conditions in North of France are far from ideal, with only 2 clear nights since October, but when  finally the sky collaborates,  we had to be operational quickly thnks to the "ready to use" observatory in the back of the garden
Actually, this image yields good result with the IDAS NBZ booster filter even under the Bortle 5 sky
