Description

The Heart (IC 1805) and Soul (IC 1848) Nebulae are emission nebulae i.e. clouds of ionized gas, that lie about 6500 light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. Between them is the star cluster NGC 1027.

Not brilliant framing, but, as you know, it's difficult when you're pointing your camera at nothing - next time I'll try this at 175mm. Still, half a soul is better than being completely soulless. The Soul looks more like a pork chop to me, but I guess Pork Chop Nebula doesn't have the same ring ;)
