Kwychang
IC 1805 Heart Nebula
It has one or two other names that we won't mention here.
Roughly about 6,000 light years from us, it can be found in the constellation of Cassiopeia.
A huge star forming region, basically a stellar nursery, where new stars are forming. Some barely a few million years old. Their winds and radiation blasting away at the gas and dust clouds that formed them, creating the shapes and structures that you see in the image. Also causing other regions of the cloud to condense and compact allowing other stars to begin forming.
Boring Techie bit:
Telescope: Askar FRA400
Mount: EQ6r pro
Camera: ZWO 533mc pro
Filter: Optolong L'eNhance.
Guided and controlled by the ZWO asiair+
Best 55 light frames, 180 seconds each.
Stacked with darks, flats, dark flats and processed using PixInsight, Graxpert, StarNet2 & Affinity Photo.
