Description

From Wikipedia: Located 7200 light years away, the Wizard nebula, surrounds developing open star cluster NGC 7380. Visually, the interplay of stars, gas, and dust has created a shape that appears to some like a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region spans about 100 light years, making it appear larger than the angular extent of the Moon.

I processed SHO, HOS, HOO and a synthetic RGB image (where R is the maximum of H or S and G & B are only the O filter). After looking at my processed images, I opted to only post the SHO version.
