The Fish Head Nebula

The Fish Head Nebula - Catalogued as NGC 896 or IC 1795 is a projection of The Heart Nebula in Cassiopeia.

 

An area of intense Ha emission nebulosity the nebula is so named due to its resemblance to a fish head. Complete with bulging eye, gill-line and pouting mouth!

 

Imaged in pure Ha over two evenings 29.11 and 01.12.19 - clouds invaded later!

 

Esprit 120ED Triplet and a ZWO 1600MM Cool Camera. Baader Ha filter.

 

34 x 300s - Camera Cooled to -20

 

Hopefully have some OIII data to add later.
