Description

The HeartNebula, IC 1805, an emission nebula 7500 light years away from us located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1787. It is full of glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust lanes.

Thank to continuous suggestions and mentoring of @Yizhou Zhang, I tried RGB star replacement with less stretching/sharpening. I really like its final soft presentation in HOS Hawaii Telescope Palette, with a colorful tip of heart (bottom part); the tiny Planetary Nebula PN G135.6 is also visible, a pleasant surprise from a 92mm telescope.
