#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #SoulNebula aka #IC1848 is an emission nebula in #Cassiopeia about 7500 light years away. The center of the nebula is being carved out by radiation emitted by stars found there. This creates finger-like plumes of gas, called "pillars of creation", that can be seen along the edges. The gas is increasingly compressed to form new stars at the end of the plumes. This image is 70 five-minute exposures (5 hours and 50 minutes). #StillLearning

I see a bears face and a paw and a whole bunch of white p...OHMYGOD IT'S THE COCAINE BEAR NEBULA!

Good evening creatures of Mastodon. This is my first effort of IC1848. Never imaged it before so quite pleased with the way it's turned out. But this target has so much more to give I feel. I'll refine my processing skills and next time concentrate a bit more on framing 😉.

My most recent capture. This was from last night and it was the first clear night in weeks. It also was my first night with my new mount, the ZWO AM5. I’m a big fan. This is the soul nebula, captured in SHO. #soulnebula #astrophotography #astronomy #zwo #am5
