IC 1805 aka "The Heart Nebula"

Shot and edited in three channels of narrowband data, SII, Ha, and OIII.

 

SII is the light wavelength emitted by singly ionized sulfur.

Ha is the light wavelength emitted by hydrogen alpha.

OIII is the light wavelength emitted by

doubly ionized oxygen.

 

The three data channels combine to make the color image by using SII for Red, Ha for Green, and OIII for Blue. This color pallet is known as SHO. SHO was pioneered and made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope.

 

This data was collected by Will.i.am on the Discord Server "FriendlyCosmos" and edited by myself using Pixinsight and Photoshop.
