Description

This is another interesting region of the Heart Nebula -- NGC 896, known as the Fish Head Nebula.

Is it cheating to post several images from the same data??  Maybe.  but my original goal was to capture more detail of IC 1805 than I have in the past, but I liked the full image of Heart so much, that I decided to post it as well.  Some more details of capture and processing can be found in my Heart Nebula image.

 As described in the other link, this image is based on 21h 48m of Narrowband data captured over the course of 5 nights from 10/25 to 11/11 (Ha - 11h 9m, Oiii - 6h 30m, Sii - 4h 9m).
