Mr Wizard NGC7380

[Comet Hunter]

Been soooo long since I had a clear night, let alone (2) in a row.
I took 15 1/2 hours on this, manly to booth the signal as a lot was lost due to the moon light.
Almost forgot how to do this stuff.....lol

Wasn't sure to crop or leave the wider field of view? Thoughts?

I love the wide view as you have posted the scene. This leaves a nice sense of context to the nebulae.

Hey Ed!

I am with you on almost forgetting the stuff. I have missed 2 or 3 months in a row and I am wondering if I will remember how to assemble it all? I should be able to finally do some deep space astro next week starting on the new moon.

I really like what you got with the Wizard, that's such a fun one I think.

Very Nice Ed! Being new to all this, I am quickly understanding your frustration on the lack of clear nights (he says as his patience is wearing thin . . .)

They can be few and far between...lol

Nicely done! You’ve done a great job with the surrounding dust. Great composition

Thank you

Yes a great feeling of depth on this, with the background level allowing for lots of faint detail throughout. I do not often see the Wizard in this orientation - very interesting.
