IC 1805 - The Heart Nebula in HST
IC 1805 is a heart-shaped nebula in the constellation of Cassiopeia, about 7500 light years from us. The Heart Nebula is a large cloud of glowing gas, lit up by a small cluster of enormous bright stars in the middle.
The image was exposed for a total of 4.5 hours with Chroma narrowband filters, a ZWO ASI2600MM camera, Sky-Watcher Esprit 100ED refractor telescope and an APM Riccardi 0.75x focal reducer.
