Description

The Wizard Nebula spans an angle of =nowrap25[url=mw-redirect=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_of_arc]′[/url].
It is extremely difficult to observe visually, usually requiring very dark skies and an O-III filter.
I imaged it with:
30 subs @ 600 secs with an Lpro filter.
30 subs @ 600 secs with an Antlia gold 5nm filter.
Utilizing my Takahashi FSQ-106, Asiair Pro and processed entirely in Pixinsight.
The NGC 7380 complex is located at a distance of approximately 8.5 kilolight-years from the Sun.
