The Heart and soul nebulae taken with a 1300D DSLR Canon camera with a Rokinon 135mm prime lens. The camera was mounted on a Skywatcher EQ5 goto mount. Settings were 45s exposure and 1600ISO. I captured 180 light frames, 30 dark frames and 30 flat frames all stacked in ASTAP and processed in GraXpert, Siril, Star Net ++, Gimp 2.10 and finished of in Photo demon. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star. The image was taken under Bortle 5 skies in my back garden in Loughor.
