NGC 7380 Wizard Nebula


Celestron4

Recommended Posts

I have recently spent some time imaging NGC 7380 Wizard Nebula and I am quite pleased with the result which is attached. There are some minor issues, the colour balance is not quite right  (I am currently borrowing an astro-modified DSLR and still getting used to it) and some of the stars are not right (particularly when zoomed in). I have previously had issues with coma in my images and have ordered this T-Adapter to try and get the spacing between the camera and focal reducer right. 

Can anyone give me some advice on how I can improve this image please? I am hoping to get some more image time on the nebula but I want to make sure that I make any changes to get the best results I can.
