Description

IC 1805 - The Heart Nebula aka The Running Dog

Lots of integration, but still very faint.  Even with 6-minute exposures, I'm just not getting enough light.  I guess this is the limits of my little Sony a6000.  As I make my exposures longer I see a lot more problems with the dead pixles on this camera.  Stars are very sharp thanks to my new guide scope, camera, and asiair.  I'll probably revisit this data when I start exploring new applications like pixinsight.  So far in my astrophotography journey I've only ever used free software.
