Description

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,

Taken over several sessions using 36mm NB filters. 20 exposures of 600secs (gain 200) for each filter.
