Description

Managed to get in just over 2 hours last night. Went further down the rabbit hole and got a new guide scope so had to give it a test run and had the best guiding results so far, so a good investment 

What powers the Heart Nebula? The nebula's glow as well as the shape of the gas and dust clouds is powered by by stellar winds and radiation from massive hot stars in the nebula's newborn star cluster Melotte 15 powering the Heart Nebula’s beautiful glow. The cosmic heart is found in the constellation of Cassiopeia. Crazy to think if we could see this visibly it would appear 4 x bigger than a full moon!
