A Celestial Wizard

 The Wizard Nebula, NGC 7380, is an open star cluster with surrounding nebulosity. The HIi region is powered by a close binary pair of massive O-type stars. Imaged with the Seestar, this image has a total of almost 2 hours of integration time with the scope’s built-in HIi/OIII filter. The nebula is sometimes called The Harry Potter and the Golden Snitch Nebula.
