Description

Probably my last work from Tuscany, as my vacation ends the day after tomorrow.

Due to slow clouds in the south, I could not shoot my intended target (M16), so I decided on the Heart Nebula in Cassiopeia instead, which frames nicely.
It is the side of Florence from our place, so more light pollution.

I shot this with my Canon USM II 200mm lens on a ZWO ASI 533MC Pro, using a Baader UHC-S filter.

2 minute subs, just over 2 hours total. Gain at 110.
Dark and Bias frames added.

Stacked with DSS, processed with Siril, Gimp and Starnet++.
