This is the Iris Nebula. I find this hard to capture because it’s a dark nebula and rises in a light polluted area of my sky. However, with the aid of many 60 or 90 second captures and some processing, I managed to coax some detail. Ideally, I’d get many more nights on this to increase SNR but that depends on the weather

Heart Nebula
02 Dec 2025
This is the Heart Nebula also known as the Running Dog Nebula, Sharpless 2-190). It’s an emission nebula, 7,500 light-years (2,300 pc) away from Earth and located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. This was taken using SHO filters on my mono IMX492 camera & processed in Siril and Gimp
