Description

Companion to the Heart Nebula, I captured this image of IC 1848 in my backyard in late November, after returning from Joshua Tree, since clouds prevented me from getting enough usable data for the Soul nebula from my trip.

This was also first light for my newly acquired ASI2600MC Pro, paired with a ZWO dual band HO filter.  Hyperstar with the monochrome camera is just too tedious since filter wheels can't be used, so the OSC version of the ASI2600 makes things a lot easier (don't need to swap out filters constantly). 

I processed this image in Pixinsight, boosted the OIII channel, and kind of liked the resulting effect, even if it is a bit too magenta!
