Heart of the Heart 3nm Ha with Moon

[Tom How]

Long clear spells last night, but a big Moon, so I targeted the bright central part of IC1805, the heart of the Heart Nebula and left the scope to get on with it whilst I slept.

Ended up with 16x1200s frames worth using between the scattered cloud - which I've pushed on the contrast harder than I normally would to counteract the Moon..

Am I the only one to notice a face  looking eastward at 11 o'clock from the center?

Nice photograph by the way.
