NGC7380 - Wizard Nebula in Ha

Hi all
Despite the lousy weather that we get in Britain, I have been able to get out and do some imaging, I thought I would have a go at this subject again as I had done it last year with the TMB and H36 camera which gave a very wide field shot so this time I used the BRC-250 and Starlight Xpress H9 which gave such a large image scale that the subject only just fitted in the frame. This is made up of 13x10 minutes guided using dithering. I had planned on much longer but the clouds came in at 2am and stayed so I shot some dark frames to use for the rest of the session. The earlier version that I did last year can be seen on he nebulae page of the image gallery on my website http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk for comparison
Thanks for looking
Best wishes and clear skies
Gordon

Thanks Gordon for an interesting image. I first observed 7380 from California in 2000 with a 14" and was surprised at how easy it was to see with a UHC filter.
PS The weather here is fantastic now, I am glad I don't live in the UK.

You really can see where it got its moniker from.

Nice shot there, Gordon. Looks like he's about to "allakazam" something
