The Heart Nebula

Last Updated on 2nd September 2021 by nightowl

This is The Heart Nebula in SHO false colour palette. I imaged it in December 2020 using one of the iTelescope.net scopes in Mayhill New Mexico. It lies some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by William Herschel on 3 November 1787.
