2025-07-02:  NGC7380

I imaged NGC7380, the "Wizard Nebula", at Buford Mountain Conservation Area.  The image was taken over three nights from September 7 to October 5, 2024.  The telescope was a 200 mm aperture, 730 mm focal length F/3.65 Boren-Simon PowerNewton Astrograph with 0.73x focal reducer and coma corrector.  The imaging camera was a QSI683wsg-8 with 31 mm Astrodon II filters and cooled to -15C.  It was off-axis guided using PHD2.  The system was mounted on a Losmandy G11G2 equatorial head on a permanent pier.  The system was controlled with Sequence Generator Pro and PHD2 and the image was processed in PixInsight.
