Description

NGC7380, which surrounding nebulosity is also known as the Wizard Nebula, is a complex of young stars located in Cepheus, in the Perseus arm, about 11000 light years from us.

This image has been processed in a SHO palette in the summer of 2022. Although it suffers a bit of star elongation on the edge due to the usage of a 0.72x reducer I resisted the temptation to crop as the wider field exalts many surrounding interesting structures in my opinion.

Also featured in this image a small planetary nebula PK107-00.1 and the very faint emission nebula Sh2-143
