NGC7380 Wizard Nebula in Ha

[jeffwjz]

First time trying out narrow band imaging (Ha), and I chose NGC7380 as the target due to its very high position in sky and the cool name. I'm using Skywatcher 150pds and Atik 314 camera. Total exposure 7 x 20min. Overall I'm quite satisfied with the image, although there are some coma at the corners and edges, and I can feel I'm already attracted by Ha narrowband imaging.

Cool result... narrowband imaging, HAlpha in particular, yields some great results which would otherwise be impossible from light polluted areas....

With the coma... I just crop away the coma or edge distortion of my images... usually there isn't that much that needs to be cropped but the overall effect looks a lot neater.

Agreed. I forgot to crop and distortions as being in a rush.. I even forgot to crop out the stacking artefacts!
