A stunning astrophotograph of the Heart Nebula (IC 1805), a vibrant emission nebula glowing red from energized hydrogen. The nebula's heart-like shape is illuminated by the young stars of the open cluster Melotte 15, eroding picturesque dust pillars. A small meteor streaks across the foreground, and the Fishhead Nebula is visible in the upper right corner. This cosmic scene, located 7,500 light-years away in Cassiopeia, showcases the power and beauty of stellar energy.

No I didn’t my #Melotte15 image heart of the #HeartNebula was taken with my @celestronuniverse.bsky.social #C8sct telescope and Atikone 6.0 camera. The original version was processed with Affinity Photo. I recently reprocessed the same data with PixInsight here are both versions

Not a new one from 2024, but a reprocess of data from 2021, using #PixInsight, that I got this year. #Melotte15 the heart of the #HeartNebula taken with a @celestronuniverse.bsky.social C8 SCT at F6.3

I love closeups of #Melotte15 the heart of the #HeartNebula. A stunning bit of #Astrophotography

The #HeartNebula (IC 1805) glows in red, yellow, and blue, revealing a cosmic heart shaped by young stars from #Melotte15. At 7,500 light-years away in #Cassiopeia, this stunning image also captures the Fishhead Nebula, a supernova remnant, and more.

What’s at the heart of the #HeartNebula ? #Melotte15 the heart of the heart nebula #IC1805. #Astrophotography #space #Astronomy #NotAi

This is Melotte 15 which is the "Heart of the Heart Nebula." I really love how this one turned out!

Experimenting with #Pixinsight again! This time #Melotte15 the heart of the #HeartNebula #IC1805 this was taken with my C8sct and @baader_astro 7nm filters and there were some horrendous haloes in Oiii, the worst ones looked like SCT star collimation ring images #Astrophotography
