Heart and Soul nebula (Benoit Penna)

Heart and Soul nebula

Heart & Soul Nebula
The Heart and Soul Nebulae, also known as IC 1805 and IC 1848, represent a star-forming region close to the constellation Cassiopeia.

These nebulae are the result of a mixture of hydrogen gas and cosmic dust, where new stars are born and illuminate, offering a majestic spectacle in the night sky.

The Heart Nebula, characterized by its heart-like shape, is a cosmic wonder located some 7,500 light-years from our planet.

Its celestial neighbor, the Soul nebula, some 7,000 light-years from Earth, is a wonder of fascinating detail and enchanting atmosphere.

First real targets with the filter and modified camera, very effective! Now all we need is more exposure time, and therefore better weather :'(

I hope you enjoy it!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
