NGC 7380 The Wizard nebula

Here's my first image from Portugal, taken over the last few nights. 20x300s for Ha and Oiii and 17x300s for Sii. Pixinsight took a dislike to 3 of the Sii subs! I used the Player1 Poseidon and Altair X-wave 80mm refractor and 0.8 reducer.

I obtained the SHO image and used narrowband normalisation to increase the Oiii and Sii parts of the image once the stars had been removed with StarX. I also decreased the ha signal very slightly. I like my SHO compositions to have some green in them.

There are a couple of other nebulae in the left hand corner of the image
