The Heart Nebula and IC 1805

I tried to capture the Heart Nebula before but results were quite poor with the stock 550D. So I decided to modify my camera and turn it into a 550Da. I removed the infrared filter and results on (hydrogen) nebulae are way more promising now. I am happy that I took the risk and even more that my camera is still working after putting all cables and stuff back into place. 😀

Clear Skies!
