The Wizard Nebula

My latest picture from the backyard is the dynamic Wizard Nebula in Cepheus. This is definitely one of my favorite images to date!

 

This project includes 18 hours of total exposure time using a reflector telescope with a large 8-inch aperture.

 

I love the way this one looks in a false-color SHO palette. I committed to collecting 6 hours through each Ha, SII, OIII filter.

 

I hope you give this deep-sky object a try this fall, and clear skies!
