The Soul Nebula

My latest photo of the stunning Soul Nebula!

 

I captured this dynamic emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia using an astrophotography camera and a small refractor telescope from my backyard in Ontario, Canada.

 

This dramatic rendition was created using a process known as 'narrowband imaging' that isolates the most impactful gases in this object.

 

If you're an amateur astrophotographer - you may want to photograph this area with an even wider field of view to capture the nearby 'Heart Nebula' as well.

 

Captured Fall 2022.
