Description

I've admired many photos of Melotte 15 on Astrobin, so I wanted to make a run at it myself.

This cluster of giant blue stars sets the Heart Nebula aglow and is a stunning vision with its towering, sinuous dust cloud.

I collected data for this narrowband image over three nights: Aug. 28, 29 and Sept. 1.
