![Heart Nebula - IC1805.jpg - Click here to enlarge IC1805 - Heart Nebula Located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia, the Heart nebula is a bright nebulae (although a telescope is needed to see it) in a region of the Galaxy where a lot of stars are forming. It lies some 7500 light years away from Earth. The nebula's intense red output and its configuration are driven by the radiation emanating from a small group of stars near the nebula's center. This open cluster of stars known as Melotte 15 contains a few bright stars The foto was taken using narrowband Ha, [OIII] and [SII] filters during three different nights. The signal of the three different filters was combined into the Hubble color palette where [SII] was assigned to red, Ha to green and [OIII] to blue Source: www.atlasoftheuniverse.com and Wikipedia Lens: Megrez 72 APO + FF 0.8x F/stop: 4.8 Exposure: Ha baader filter, 8 x 15 min; OIII 8x15min and 8x15min [SII] (unbinned) Mount: Vixen Sphinx Deluxe Camera: Artemis 4021 Guiding: Throught WO 66 f5.9 with Meade DSI and MaximDL software Location: Majada del Hombro, Huerta del Marquesado, Cuenca, Spain Date: August 2st, 5rd and 6th 2008 Processing: Calibrated and aligned with DSS, stacked with MaximDL and postprocessed with PixInsight 1.2</p](Heart Nebula - IC1805.jpg) |
