Description

Melotte 15 at the "heart" of the Heart Nebula.

Initially set out to image the Heart Nebula but as I examined my light frames after night 1, I grew fascinated with the core area of the Nebula.. so much going on. You can almost see the stellar winds shaping the nebulosity!

I cropped the top left corner too close to edge of frame, gets very "pixely" there, but I'm pleased with the overall result for a DSLR.
