    IC1805 The Heart Nebula Complex HA+LLRGB

    Hi All,

    Here is my latest shot of IC 1805 The Heart Nebula Complex.

    It represents 5.5 hours of imaging over 3 nights, due to high clouds interfering each night.

    Tak FSQ106 refractor, field flattener, and STL11000 CCD, and 4nm H-Alpha Filter (3 hours) + (2.5 hours) Astronomics LRGB filters.
    spent a lot of time processing this one, but came out pretty cool!

    Lots of faint nebulosity in the surrounding area too!

    Just in time for Valentines Day!

    Since I can only post a small jpg on this forum,

    here is a link to a little higher res shot(~400K)

    Very nice, John! It's good to see some images of this quality. I've been clouded out for a months and I'm getting a little frustrated.

    Again great job!
