Description

2 panel mosaic (side-by-side) of the Heart and Soul nebulas. Both panels captured with the Altair 4nm Ha/Oiii dualband filter.

The Soul (IC1848) is approx 6 hours of data so far, and the Heart (IC1805) is sub 3 hours. I'm surprised on the detail in the heart for such a short integration time.  I was quite aggressive with PixInsight frame rejections as over the nights I had a lot of high clouds throughout the imaging sessions.

Next clear nights will be capturing using the Altair Sii/Oiii dualband filter, and grabbing some RGB stars.


I've lightened the background to show the dark nebulas and wisps around the Heart nebula
