IC1805 (The Heart nebula)

IC1805 (The Heart nebula): On the night of the 12th November I captured 4 hours of Ha and SII data of the Heart nebula with an Altair 60EDF doublet refractor fitted with a 0.8 x FR using an ASI 533MM Pro camera shooting 5 minute subs. Just one OIII sub was taken before clouds prevented any further capture, so I added 4.5 hours of SHO data taken over the last two years with the same equipment to produce an 8.5 hour total SHO integration. Pixinsight was used to collate the data, with Adobe Lightroom used to finalise the composition.
