Description

This is a two panel mosaic of the Soul Nebula (IC1848) in the SHO Hubble Palette. Each panel has 22 hours of integration. I used my most recent SHO, mosaic, and starless SMI enhancement methods in Pixinsight for the processing. This was collected over 19 nights for bortle 5 skies.

This target goes my many names: Westerhout 5 (Sharpless 2-199, LBN 667, Soul Nebula) is an emission nebula located in Cassiopeia. Several small open clusters are embedded in the nebula: CR 34, 632, and 634 (in the head) and IC 1848 (in the body). The object is more commonly called by the cluster designation IC 1848.

Small emission nebula IC 1871 is present just left of the top of the head, and small emission nebulae 670 and 669 are just below the lower back area.
