A Cosmic Wizard
The Wizard Nebula is fiendishly difficult to image, and I have never been able to get more than a fuzzy blob in any image I have attempted. But last night, my luck was in and I was able to take this image with my Mallincam DSm, VRC 6 scope, MFR5-II FR and H-alpha (7nm) filter. This image is a stack of 30 x 35s integrations with very aggressive histogram stretch. It's not perfect (there are stacking artifacts from slight mount drift), but I'm very pleased with the result. I may try an OIII image of it later.
