NGC 7380 is an open cluster located about 8,000 light-years away in Cepheus. It rises high in the sky and can be imaged during the Summer and Fall seasons. The cluster is surrounded by nebulous gas.

This was captured from our telescope at Starfront Observatories, under truly dark skies. It totals an incredible 97 hours of integration time, resulting in a clean and impressive image.

Equipment used:

• Telescope: Stellarvue SVX130

• Camera: 61 MegaPixel QHY600M

• Mount: 10Micron GM1000HPS

• Filters: 3nm Chroma

We used 5 filters for this object, so you will receive the master files for:

• Hydrogen Alpha

• Oxygen III

• Red

• Green

• Blue

We recommend using the H and O data for a bicolor combination, and the RGB data for the stars.
