Description

The FISHHEAD NebulaNGC 896 is some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of Our Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is an emission nebula showing glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust lanes. It is part of the Heart nebula which spans almost 2 degrees in the sky, covering an area four times that of the diameter of the full moon. I am working on a 6 panel mosaic that will cover the complete heart nebula.
