The Heart and Soul
Still pretty cloudy at night, but consoling myself with the discovery of data I had forgotten about, four hours on the Heart and Soul Nebulae, IC1805 and IC1848 respectively. They are emission nebulae, star forming regions in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, located roughly 7000 light years away, the Heart is about 13% further away than the Soul.
This image is a 4 hour calibrated integration of 180s sub-exposures taken over three nights at the beginning of October. I imaged these around the same time last year with the same setup but I think this result is a marked improvement.
