Description

The Wizard Nebula is a wonderfully dramatic mix of an open star cluster, Hα regions and dark dust where star formation is still taking place. The nebula creates the stars and the stars shape and illuminate the nebula.

Seeing was poor on this particular night, so the stars are a little more bloated than I would have preferred, but I still like the picture. I hope you will too.
