Description

NGC7380 is actually an open cluster of stars, but also refers to the surrounding nebula. The Wizard is 8,500 light-years away and spans about 20 light-years across. The largest stars in the cluster emit the gas and dust that forms the nebula. North is at the top.

Palette = HHO plus RGB for stars.
