Description

First cut at an image of the Heart Nebula  (also known as the Running dog nebula), IC 1805, which is some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia.  Taken at home around 11PM on 10/22/22.  I used an iOptron HEM27 mount and ZWO 30mm guide scope and ZWO ASI120MM-S camera.  Image is from a William Optics GT71 scope with 3x300 and 5x600 subs with an ASI294MC Pro, camera, gain 119, and Optolong L-Extreme filter.  Data stacked and processed with Pixinsight, Windows, and Apple edit.
