Description

Narrowband hydrogen and oxygen filters were used to make this false-color image of the Heart, IC 1805. Most of the detail comes from the Hydrogen-alpha frames, which I used for luminance. For color, some longer-exposure Ha for red, OIII for green; I blurred those a bit so that their higher noise would be less apparent (the eye is much better at picking up luminance contrast than it is color shading).
