NGC 7380 (other designations — OCL 244, LBN 511) is an open star cluster in the constellation Cepheus. It is surrounded by an emission nebula known as the Wizard Nebula. The nebula received this name because, from certain angles, it resembles a wizard in a pointed hat.
At the center of the cluster lies DH Cephei — a close spectroscopic binary system consisting of two massive O-type stars.

And in terms of the chosen palette and processing, this version seems the most successful to me.

Specifically, this version was processed by a colleague.
Previous versions with elaborate colors were my attempts to make something visually appealing. It's probably one of the most challenging objects for me to process. I didn't struggle as much even with Iris!
