Description

The Wizard Nebula (NGC 7380). 385 x 20s exposures for about 2 hours and 8 minutes of integration.  Captured with a dual narrowband filter in the glow of a nearby, nearly-full moon.  

Collimation and focus issues thwarted my attempt to capture the Wizard a few nights ago. This time, however, after my first Hyperstar collimation and my first successful use of a Bahtinov mask, I was rewarded with some of the tightest, roundest stars I've captured with my Alt-Az mount.

(Captured: C6, Alt-Az, Hyperstar, ASI183MC Pro, Optolong L-Enhance filter. Processed: Photoshop, Star Xterminator, Gradient Xterminator, and Topaz DeNoise AI.)
