Description

The Heart Nebula, IC 1805 lies 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. This is an emission nebula showing glowing gas and darker dust lanes. The nebula is formed by plasma of ionized hydrogen and free electrons.

The weather conditions were not optimal. Very humid air. The moon was up for 3,5 hours of exposure time. I hope you enjoy it anyway !

Thanks for watching !
