Description

IC 1805, The Heart Nebula, from back garden in Little Rock, Arkansas, November 27th, 2023.   Respecting the "new image" policy of Astrobin...   the data used for this image have never been posted on Astrobin before.   I do have a previous image of IC 1805, but those are completely different data acquired with a different filter many weeks earlier.

On this particular night (Nov 28), the moon was almost full and by the end of the evening it was shining almost directly into the telescope.   The last ~ 25% of the images had to be discarded due to extreme moonlight.  Out of 92 300s images, 2 were eliminated due to aircraft and 18 were eliminated due to moonlight. 

The filter used was the Optolong L-Quad Enhance Filter (L-QEF) quad bandpass light pollution suppression filter.    It seems to function as a wide-band filter that specifically blocks Na and Hg streetlamp wavelengths.
