Description

I imaged the Wizard in narrowband H-alpha light from home, over three nights. I really like these black-and-white rendering of monochromatic data, it reminds me of the good ol’ days of Kodak TP2415 with a Wratten 29 filter. I’m kidding myself, of course: what I can do now is so much better and deeper than anything I could do twenty-five years ago.
Revision D is a starless (via StarNet++) version, I think it really reveals the complex texture and structure of the nebula.
