Description

Second cut at an image of the Heart Nebula, IC 1805, which is some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia.  Taken at between 8:02 PM and 10:30 PM on 11/20/22.  I used an iOptron HEM27 mount and ZWO 30mm guide scope and ZWO ASI120MM-S camera.  Image is from a William Optics GT71 scope with 13x600 subs with an ASI294MC Pro, camera, gain 127, and Optolong L-Extreme filter.  This version is based on new calibration dark frames using the Optolong filter in the image train.  Data stacked and processed with Pixinsight, Windows, and Apple edit.
