Description

The Wizard Nebula is located in the constellation Cepheus and is associated with the star cluster NGC7380.

11 hours of narrowband subs (Ha, Oiii, Sii) were collected over multiple nights under a new moon with an AT80ED and 294mm camera in Bin 2 mode.  I tried a 2X drizzle for the first time in Astro Pixel Processor to reveal additional data and ended up with an image scale of approximately 1 arcsecond/pixel.  Image was heavily cropped, stars were reduced and noise reduction applied.  Overall I'm very satisfied with this image. 

Thanks for looking!
