Description

Revisiting the Heart and Soul Nebula with new equipment and a little more experience, I imaged them both separately a couple of years ago but this time captured them together in one frame. 

The portability of my new mount and the fact that I have everything mounted and ready to go is really paying off. It's making it much easier to grab an hour or two here and there between clouds. Especially given I'm not really getting fully clear nights at the moment. 

When processing I noticed something interesting, just above the centre of the heart nebula is a tiny oval shaped planetary nebula, visible in the centre of the image below. Always fun to find things you don't expect, I couldn't find much about it other than it has a memorable name WeBo 1 (PN G135.6+01.0)

Clear skies all and thanks for looking.
