Shot through The Heart

[lukebl]

Gorann beat me to it with his punny thread entitled 'Heart of The Heart', but here's my capture of the centre of the Heart Nebula, IC 1805, Sharpless 2-190. The fine details often get lost when one sees images of the whole nebula, and I felt this area looked interesting enough for my 1000mm focal length (actually about 910mm with the coma corrector) and small sensor.

It's 14 hours and 40 minutes of 10 minute exposures captured in HA under a full moon. Atik428ex, 200mm f/5 Newtonian.
