Description

This is the Ha part of a project to show the Heart Nebula and Stock 2, an open cluster nearby [lower left corner in this FOV]. Not sure what the actual distances are, i.e., if they are at all close or just line of sight close. Anyway, when the Moon is less bright or indeed, not in play, I will gather RGB which should bring out the stars in Stock 2.
