Target & processing

NGC 7380, the Wizard Nebula, is a vast star-forming region in Cepheus, about 7,000 light-years away, surrounding the young open cluster NGC 7380. Its intricate clouds of glowing hydrogen and dark dust are carved by the intense radiation and stellar winds of the cluster’s hot, massive stars.

Note to self

Although the processing is okay, I would probably want to re-process it with more experience now.
