Description

With this Soul Nebula I had like 5 versions at hand and I liked them all somehow. One was more blueish, the other one was more red, another one was more pushed by HA. In the end, my wife liked this composition the most so I had no choice than taking this version :-)

Westerhout 5 (Sharpless 2-199, LBN 667, Soul Nebula) is an emission nebulae in Cassiopeia. Several small open clusters are embedded in the nebula: CR 34, 632, and 634 (in the head) and IC1848 (in the body). The object is more commonly called by the cluster designation IC1848.

Small emission nebula IC 1871 is present just left of the top of the head, and small emission nebulae 670 and 669 are just below the lower back area (wiki)
