Melotte15 Inside The Heart Nebula
"With amazing clear skies all this week, a very rare event for us I was able to do a lot of imaging. Most of it was all in H Alpha due to a very bright Moon. But last night the 11/12th the moon was just 49% Sunlit so I took a chance on getting color for one of the projects. I was working on Melotte15 which is in the center of the heart nebula that lies in Cassiopeia. Hope you like the image" Carl O'Beirnes
