Description

The heart and Soul nebulae are located in Cassiopeia. The distances are well determined, mainly because they have star clusters at their centers. These nebula are located in the Perseus arm of the galaxy. 7500 and 6500 light years away, respectively.

I had to throw out 30 subs ( 2.5 hrs) because some passing clouds caused PHD2 to temporarily lose the guide star. So half of the images were really shifted. I should have stayed up to baby sit the rig, but I went to bed. Another reason to fully automate to NINA I guess!

All in all, it was fun to process.
