Date/Time of photo:

October 2022

Equipment:

Explorer Scientific 104mm APO Telescope, ASIAIR Pro, Ioptron CEM 60, ASI2600MM Pro, ZWO narrow band and RGB filters

Description:

The Wizard nebula is located in the constellation Cepheus. It is an emission nebula. This is one of my favorite objects to photograph in October. 128+ OIII @240s, 128+SII@ 240s, 256+ @ 240s, 32 R @ 60s, 32 G@ 60s, and 32B@60s. This is my 3rd go at this object. The first time I photographed it was in 2018 and the photograph was saturated with stars. This is a difficult one to get right. I am happy with the way this turned out. Image was processed using the Hubble Pallet (SHO).
