IC1805 and Melotte 15

[Owmuchonomy]

I had a go at imaging the Ha rich IC1805 (The Heart) between Cass and Perseus last night.  The huge young stars in open cluster Melotte 15 are partly responsible for the deep Ha emission in the centre of this nebula.  I lost a load of subs but am quite pleased with the result from the remaining set.  The guiding behaved itself very well, so much so I could turn the Dec guiding off.
