Description

Melotte 15 is the 'heart' of the Heart Nebula which resides within the Cassiopeia constallation.

Subs were captured with bin 1x1 but were debayered using "SuperPixel" which essentially results in a 2x2 binned image.

This is my first image processed using the "NoiseXTerminator" tool for PixInsight. This amazing tool eliminated a ton of background noise and allowed me to push the ~4hrs of data a little bit harder to bring out the details. I'm really happy with how this performs, kudos to Russell Croman for developing this awesome tool!
