Description

Not Pisces - IC1795: 16 hours HOO with RGB Stars:  Overshadowed by its famous neighbor, the Heart Nebula, the ignominiously named Fish Head Nebula seems to get little love.  It is however a stunning stellar nursery suffused with intricate tendrils of ionized gas and dust.

Equipment and processing used: Celestron RASA-11 telescope with ZWO ASI294 MC Pro one shot color camera riding on an iOptron CEM120-EC2 mount.  N.I.N.A./PHD2 used for image acquisition. This image combines 192 individual five minute exposures for the nebula (16 hours of data), shot through an IDAS-NBZ dual-band H-Alpha/OIII filter with one hour of RGB data for stars shot through an IDAS-LPS-D1 light pollution filter.  Data captured in December, 2023 and March, 2024 from our observatory in Mariposa, Ca.   Processed using PixInsight.
