Description

The IC1805 is an area of ​​vast amounts of ionized gas and interstellar dust. The strong stellar wind of the hot stars born here blows the surrounding material outwards, creating a cave-like hollow shape in the parent gas cloud. Due to its shape, this area is also called Heart Nebula. It is most efficient to capture with narrowband filters due to the large amount of light emitting gas.
