Description

A Study of the Heart and Soul Part 2 of 9 - The Face of a Star Child

In December 2020, I spent many nights shooting a monster 18-panel mosaic of the H&S region with the small WO Z61 refractor. I wanted to capture not only both main nebulas, but also the faint nebulosity that surrounds them and streams out of them. While I was doing that, I decided to home in the C11 on smaller, interesting regions of those nebulas as part of a more rigorous study.

This image, the second in the study, frames the "face" of the Soul Nebula, Westerhout 5/IC 1848. This image also contains the Whirling Dervish Nebula, IC 1871.
