NGC 896 SHO

 

This false color image of NCG 896, in the Heart Nebula, is sometime called the Fish Head nebula. It is some 7500 light years from earth in the Cassiopeia constellation. The data was collected over five nights and combined in the SHO pallet. This assigns the Sii wavelength, a deep red, to the red channel, The Ha wavelength, a bright red, to the green channel, and the Oiii wavelength, a blue-green, to the blue channel.

The Fish Head Nebula contains a star forming region.
