Description

The Wizard Nebula (NGC 7380) calls to mind the old master in Disney’s “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” with his conical hat and flowing robes. In this image, the “wizard” is reclining, black fingers reaching out from his robes, mouth agape as if casting a spell.

The Wizard is one of those captivating targets that I must visit each summer to see if I can reveal more than the year previous. Over four nights in August, I shot it in narrowband, zooming in for this SHO rendering with RGB stars.
