Description

IC 1848, The Soul Nebula also known as Westerhout 5. Emission nebula located in Cassiopeia about 7,500 light years away.

This was meant to be a quick test of my new scope's optics, but it turned into 3 nights of imaging. I think the test was a success! It could probably do with more time on Oiii but the weather has beaten me again. Hope to do a SHO version if I get the data.

Modified Ha and Oiii  based on Steve Cannistra's bi-colour technique.
