This is Witchcraft!

Somehow I never got around to imaging the popular Witch Head Nebula until this year - and I am so glad I did! I used two different telescopes in tandem - one to capture all the colors of the dust, and a second one to get the faint red hydrogen clouds behind it. Bonus: I found a bunch of tiny little galaxies at the top ❤️
