Description

I took this one as an opportunistic imaging the other night, as I was waiting for the Heart Nebula to appear from behind a tree.  I only took around 2 hours with the Optolong L-Ultimate 3nm Ha & Oiii narrowband filter.  I used the William Optics FLT91 with the F68III 1.0x flattener, so the shot is a bit close to the nebula.  I think when I get a chance I'll re-do it with the 0.8x reducer to try to fit a wider view of the nebula.  

Thanks for looking and clear skies!
