Description

Well hello there! Let me show you my latest image, it is the center of the Heart nebula. It is actually not exactly a really finalized image, I have planned to spend much more imaging time on this target, bud unfortunately I didn't have a chance to realize it. Sure, I could have wait one more year, but... yeah... I have other plans as well
The Heart Nebula is an emission nebula, 7500 light years away from Earth and located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by William Herschel on 3 November 1787. It displays glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust lanes.
