Description

Catalogued as NGC 896 and IC 1795. Very near the heart nebula, which I’ve shot previously.

In the Cassiopeia constellation about 7,500 light years distant. Star formation energizes the gas with prominent dark dust lanes stretching across.

Not super bright, even with 18 hours of exposure time! This is the most time I’ve put in on a target yet!
