NGC 7380 (also known as the Wizard Nebula) is an open cluster discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1787. William Herschel included his sister's discovery in his catalog, and labelled it H VIII.77. It is also known as 142 in the 1959 Sharpless catalog (Sh2-142). This reasonably large nebula is located in Cepheus and is approximately 8000 light years away. It is extremely difficult to observe visually, usually requiring very dark skies and an O-III filter. The gas and dust spans about 150 light years across.
