Description

The famous Wizard Nebula, but my version. This is 46 hrs and 50 min. of stacked 10 minute SHO images with 1.5 hrs of 5 minute RGB stars. It's 7,200 light years away, in the constellation Cepheus, which is near the north star. SkyWatcher RQ6R-Pro mount, Esprit 120mm, QHY268M, Optolong 3mm SHO filters. I shot S and H from bortle 9 Phoenix and O from bortle 1-2 in northern Arizona, during the new moon. Mostly Pixinsight, but used a little Photoshop to add the stars, and Lightroom for some tweeking as well. If you don't like the colors....they can be changed to just about anything
