| The Heart Nebula is located in Cassiopeia, and is yet another fine example of an emission nebula. This is a large object and almost fills the entire chip, which represents about 2.5 degrees along the x axis and 4 degrees along the y axis (the image scale is about 3.5 arcsec/pixel for the FSQ and STL11k.) The bright upper portion to the right bears the designation IC 1795, and the brightest portion within 1795 per se is separately catalogued as IC 896. Someday I hope to capture the companion nebula, IC 1848, which resembles a developing fetus, and together with 1805 are termed the "Heart and Soul Nebula". |
