Description

The Heart Nebula. I shot this target using my Sky-Watcher Esprit 100 refractor with a Starizona Apex 0.65x reducer for an effective focal ratio of f/3.6. Imaged through an L-eXtreme filter with my ASI533MC Pro camera. About 5 hours of data. Imaged under Bortle 4 skies with a first-quarter moon at 8400 ft elevation in the Colorado mountains.
