Description

IC 1848 "Soul":  full color HaRGB image
IC 1848 "Soul" or perhaps as I see it "Fetus" or "Buffalo" nebula in Cassiopeia.  This is a red emission nebula shot in monochrome through a Hydrogen-alpha filter and then colorized in Phtoshop.  This is a joint project of James Foster and Michael Stecker.
