Wizard Nebula
The primary star cluster (NGC 7380) was discovered in 1787 by Caroline Herschel (the younger sister of William Herschel), an incredible astronomer in her own right. The surrounding “Wizard Nebula” has a magical feel which, for me, evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity of the cosmos that myself and Caroline Herschel share, along with everyone out there who keeps looking up!
This was my second capture with the Optolong L-Ultimate filter, which I've re-processed after four more months of practice in the hobby.
