APOD from 2014-08-29

The Wizard #Nebula

NGC 7380, the Wizard Nebula, is an open star cluster within a gas and dust cloud 8,000 light-years away in Cepheus. This young 4-million-year-old cluster, imaged from Earth with narrowband filters, reveals vibrant shapes in Hubble-esque colors. A cursor trick on the image can hide stars to show only the nebula.
