Description

Melotte 15, "The Heart of the Heart" nebula, estimated to be 7,500 light years from Earth. Captured at native F/10 2032mm from my Celestron EdgeHD 8 SCT. Processed in the SHO palette with RGB stars.

In this nebula I see a mountain top with an old twisted tree and an eagle landing on it. What do you see?
