Wizard Nebula: A Masterclass in Astrophotography

Wizard Nebula or SH2-142 is a diffuse nebula surrounding a young open star cluster called NGC 7380 in the northern circumpolar constellation Cepheus. Commonly, it is known as the Wizard Nebula, because from a certain angle and with a bit of imagination, it resembles a wizard. The age is estimated to be between 4 and 12 million years.
