Description

My second complete image with the William optics Redcat telescope. The Heart Nebula, also known as IC 1805, is an emission nebula located 7,500 lightyears away in the Cassiopeia constellation. The Heart Nebula is often imaged with IC 1848, which is known as the Soul Nebula as seen here. The Soul Nebula is a cloud of cosmic gas and dust 150 lightyears wide that’s being illuminated and carved by powerful streams of charged particles emanating from an open cluster of stars.   This combination of the Redcat and the QHY268 Camera is truly amazing for widefield celestial objects. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.
