Description

Heart and Soul - The bigger picture.

I tried to capture the Heart and Soul Nebubae together with the famous h+Chi Persei open star clusters. This was only possible by using a quite small focal lenght (85 mm). I wanted to have all objects within the frame without having to struggle with mosaic techniques. I stopped down the lens from f/1.4 to f/4. The frames were taken during full moon - but fortunately a 6nm h-alpha filter does a great job - so I could expose the sub-frames for 600 s each.

I hope you enjoy the result!
