The Fish head nebula (IC1795) features glowing gas and dust in a star forming area in Cassiopeia. It s part of the Heart nebula (IC1805) complex that is located at about 6000 light years away.

This is a 2 pane mosaic in order to get the complete nebula in the frame.

I decided to go with a slightly different process here, as I felt that the colours I normally use made it feel a little flat..... as it was the colours used gave it a much deeper feeling of depth.

Here you can see how it fits into the Heart nebula complex and also get an idea of scale with the equipment used.
