NGC7380 - Wizard Nebula
NGC 7380 (also known as the Wizard Nebula) is an open cluster discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1787. William Herschel included his sister's discovery in his catalog, and labelled it H VIII.77. It is also known as 142 in the 1959 Sharpless catalog (Sh2-142). This reasonably large nebula is located in Cepheus.
Whilst I think target looks so much better in Hubble Palette (Which I am working on) here's my LRGB+HA Version
