The Wizard Nebula

Here is my latest photo of the Wizard Nebula, taken using a camera and a small telescope from my backyard. This emission nebula lies in Cepheus, and if you have a clear view of this constellation, you can capture it this month.

 

To create this image, I used narrowband filters with my astronomy camera to separate the different wavelengths of light emitted by this object. It sounds a lot more complicated than it is, but it's a great way to do astrophotography from a light-polluted backyard!
