Description

Last month I imaged IC 1871/1848 using an 11 inch SCT.  The nebula is so large that I could only fit a portion of the nebula in the frame. So last night I imaged IC 1871 using a Stellarvue 90 refractor with a 0.8 focal reducer. Even with this setup I just barely fit the entire nebula in the frame.

IC 1871 is called the Soul Nebula. It is an emission nebula in Cassiopeia. It is was in a huge star forming region.
