Description

The Heart Nebula, catalog number IC1805, in the constellation Cassiopeia, about 7,500 light years from Earth, shot (a bit off-center, unfortunately) through narrowband filters. Parts of the Heart Nebula have their own names. The structure in the center is also known as Melotte 15; the protrusion at the upper right is the Fish Head Nebula. A single night's image data collected from my extremely light-polluted driveway. This is my first attempt at narrowband imaging, so please be kind!
