Oskar ContrerasGood Monday morning. Here are observations from last night by the s50. Starting out with #IC1848 #TheSoulNebula. This time with the Light Pollution (LP) filter on. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
For the s50 set it up to view #IC1848 #TheSoulNebula. Used the Moon and Sky Light filter. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
Next up is an observation of #IC1848 #TheSoulNebula. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur
Here is another observation that was redone from yesterday. #IC1848 #TheSoulNebula. Definite improvement from previous observation with the LP Filter on. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
When to go see #IC1848 #TheSoulNebula. This location may benefit by using the onboard LP filter. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
StellarSnapπΈ W5: Pillars of Star Formation
In W5, older stars near the center may be triggering the birth of new stars at the edges. This infrared view from NASAβs WISE satellite reveals dusty pillars resisting erosion by stellar winds. W5, also called IC 1848, is part of the Heart and Soul Nebula complex in Cassiopeia.

I'm not done with the processing of my Soul Nebula (IC 1848) data but I thought I'd share this little crop from the larger image which has strong "cosmic cliffs" vibes.

Frank AdlerThe Heart and Soul Nebulae
=====================
Located approximately 6000 light years away from Earth, these two nebulae form a vast star-forming complex, spanning around 300 light years in diameter. As part of the Perseus arm of the Milky Way galaxy, they are rich in interstellar gas and dust, providing a fertile ground for star formation.
The image is a HOO composition, mapping emissions of hydrogen alpha gas to the red channel, while oxygen III emissions are mapped to the green and blue channels. This results in a colorful representation of the nebulae's different emissions.
At the center of the Heart Nebula (IC 1805), an open cluster of young stars, known as Melotte 15, is located. These stars, some of them up to 50 times more massive than our sun, are ionizing the surrounding gas, causing it to glow.
The nebulae's proximity to Earth and their richness in star-forming material make them an exciting target for astronomers studying the processes of star birth and evolution.
Scope: Askar 103APO
Lens: Askar 0.6x Reducer

Filter: Altair Tri-Band
Mount: Skywatcher AZ-EQ5-GT
Guiding: Svbony SV165 with ZWO ASI224MC

smilingj.netAdding narrow-band data to the Soul Nebula Mosaic Project
I was able to add a first batch of narrow-band data to my mosaic project of the Soul Nebula.
