Description

The Soul Nebula (Westerhout 5,  Sharpless 2-199, LBN667) is a emission nebula in Cassiopeia and c. 7500 light years distant
This is the neighbour of The Heart Nebula and I have also posted an image of the pair of them separately.
Imaged over four nights with a mixture of 120 sec and 300 sec frames at my Bortle 5/6 house on the South coast of UK.
I used a L-eNhance filter with a Askar FMA 180 scope
