IC 1805 Heart Nebula - 17,8 hours of data with PixInsight SHO processing

The Heart Nebula is an emission nebula, located about 7 500 light years from earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. Due to the weather limitations, at least now, here in the northern part of Sweden I decided to revisit this object. I was also a bit curious about how much the latest advanced in processing will affect this image, since the last time I did it, BlurXterminator was not available for example. Data for this image was gathered from 2022, 2023, and 2024. Data for this image: 53x300s S-II, 106x300s Ha, 55x300s O-III. Total number of exposures 214 with a total integration time of 17,8 hours. Processing: PixInsight with SHO palette with SHO stars.
