Description

First panel of what I hope will eventually be a 6-panel mosaic of the heart nebula at 1250 mm focal length.  This is about 10 hours of SHO exposure.  

In a nice surprise there is a distinctive blue halo toward the top of the picture.   The SIMBAD database identifies a planetary nebula, PN G135.6+1.0, at these coordinates.
