The Wizard Nebula

After months of cloud, we finally had a semi-clear night last night here in North Carolina. I decided to revisit one of my favorite objects, the Wizard Nebula (in the cluster NGC 7380). The image was captured with the RASA 8 scope, DS10C camera, and NBZ filter. The final image had a total integration time of around 100 minutes. The first image is a starless crop which shows the nebula structure fairly well. The next image is a starred crop, followed by an almost full-field image of the nebula with minimal processing. The images are zoomable :)
