Description

The Fish Head nebula (IC 1795) is found in the constellation of Cassiopeia. I captured on the evening of December 6th from our observatory here in Van Alstyne, Texas. It is composed of 25-300 second exposures through a 12 inch F/8 RC telescope using a QHY-163 OSC equipped with an Optolong L-Enhanced filter. This object is some 6000 light years from Earth and is the birthplace of numerous stars.
