Here is the cluster NGC 7380 and the emission nebula SH2-142. The cluster is somewhat hard to see because of the scale - I was concentrating and processing for the nebulosity. A full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Nice one Jim. I always found this nebula to be difficult to get to look good. You did well as always.
