Description

The heart of the Soul Nebula. It was a cold night on Jon Wood Astronomy Field, about an hour east of Atlanta, but the company was good and the skies were stable and clear. This was the first run at it and represents the hydrogen-alpha channel. I was very pleased with the results. I uploaded another version of this image without stars. Starnet++ is quite good at making star masks but my MacBook Pro turns into a space heater!
