Description

The Heart Nebula (SHO), IC 1805 / Melotte 15 , lies some 7500 light years away from Earth. It is an emission nebula showing glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust lanes. This image is a work in progress, as it is so large it is a mosaic and this is my 2nd year capturing portions of the nebula.
