Description

The Soul Nebula is an emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It forms a famous pair known as the Heart and Soul with the neighbouring Heart Nebula (IC 1805). The Soul Nebula is sometimes also known as the Embryo Nebula or IC 1848, which is a designation used for the open star cluster embedded within the nebula.

I have tried to capture the Soul Nebula in two nights. In the first night heavy clouds came in after 10 images. The second night was amazing, but my Esprit was moist from the dew after some images. That's why everything is a little bit blurry.
