Description

The Wizard is one of my favorite targets ever since I started with astrophotography.

This region of the sky often provides high angular distance from the moon and, with the help of narrowband filters, provides some refuge from the its nuisance.  Of course OIII channel remains a challenge and needs the best sky conditions possible.
