Description

Somewhere in the Cassiopeia's constellation, once lived an Alien who was in love by a human, and that Alien was so rich, because this wedding proposal was meant to be seen in the entire galaxy. This is the Heart nebula, known also as IC1805, rich mainly in Hydrogen Alpha, it can be found just to the West of Cassiopeia’s constellation, and lies in the Perseus arm of our Milky Way galaxy. She´s mapped in false color known as the Hubble palette, in the narrowband filters of Sulphur II, Alpha-Hydrogen and Oxygen III with a narrow bandpass of 6nm.

2h:00min = 40 x 180s (Astronomik 6nm SII) - Gain 139 - Bin 1x1 - Offset 50 - Focal Lengh 300mm
4h:18min = 86 x 180s (Astronomik 6nm Ha) - Gain 139 - Bin 1x1 - Offset 50 - Focal Lengh 300mm
3h:30min = 70 x 180s (Astronomik 6nm OIII) - Gain 139 - Bin 1x1 - Offset 50 - Focal Lengh 300mm

50 Darks + 50 BIAS + 150 Flats

The Moon was in the first night of acquisition (when the Ha was shooted) in Waning Gibbous at 98% of illumination in a Bortle scale of 4 (21.63 Mag/Arc.Sec. SQM).
