Heart & Soul Nebula

The Heart and Soul Nebula with the Perseus Double Cluster (bottom left) captured from my back garden in Torquay.

 

The nebulae are around 7500 light years away and are around 600 light years wide and are made up of mainly hydrogen gas.

 

Captured over a total exposure time of 90 minutes with a Bortle 5 sky I was very pleased with the end result.
