NGC 7380 Wizard Nebula - as processed in 2016.
Below is a reprocess of the same data in May 2021
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 and is approximately 8000 light years away. It is extremely difficult to observe visually, usually requiring very dark skies and an O-III filter. The gas and dust spans about 150 light years across.
