The Heart Nebula, IC 1805, Sharpless 2-190 lies in the cygnus constellation.
The lower right part is called the fishhead nebula, IC 1795.
This image is a false color image and contains data of the Ha / Hydrogen alpha wavelength (red color) and the OIII / Oxygen 3 wavelength (cyan color) of the nebula.
This is the first deep space light image of my new ZWO ASI533MC Pro astro camera. As it is a widefiel image I used my Nikon 70-300mm lens @ 200mm. The image sensor was cooled down to -10 °C to minimize noise due to heat of the sensor.
As contrast this was my first image of the heart nebula I took in february 2020 with my Nikon D5600 and the same lens. But with a Star Adventurer and no astro camera and also no L-eXtream duo-narrowband filter:
I did a platesolve of the image to show the other deep space objects that can be found in the picture.
