Description

There are many fish in the cosmic ocean and this one is called the Fish Head Nebula. It's very close to the Heart Nebula. To me it looks like a fancy fantail goldfish. It's actual designation is IC 1795 and is a sprawling emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It's made mostly of hydrogen gases that emit light where new stars are forming. 21 hours acquired using red, green, blue and hydrogen-alpha filters
