Description

Been on a bit of a tear of late looking at previously posted images for composition opportunities as I think about how to get in tighter/closer on some nebulae targets.

Here is a section of the FishHead/Melotte 15 image that emphasizes Melotte 15 and the structure to the right [in the image] that is part of the wall of the Heart. Sort of fun...it is soft because it lacks resolution when pulled out this way, being only about 25% of the original image.

Rendered in SHO, this is taken with a William Optics FLT 132 APO and ASI ZWO 1600MM cooled and Baader 2" NB filters.
