NGC 7380 Wizard Nebula – We’re off to see the wizard… Lying at a distance of 8,000 light years, this cloud of gas and dust appears to span nearly one degree across. Its low surface brightness however makes this a challenging subject. This image was captured under the dark skies of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Telescope: 12″ aperture at f/5. Camera: 8-megapixel thermally-cooled CCD. This bi-colored image was made by superimposing multiple exposures through hydrogen-alpha (red) and oxygen-III (blue) filters. by trout7000 via http://flic.kr/p/x4cvvg – Gatlinburg Garden Castle Rainbow Tower Library Imagination Station Temple Water Spirit Guardian Labyrinth Treasury Magic Healing
