The Heart Nebula

This is the Heart Nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. The time I listed was just the start time. I took 300-second images from 9:30 at night until almost 5:00 in the morning, for a total integration time of between 6 and 7 hours. I took this from my observatory southeast of Shandon, CA, as it's been foggy here at the coast.

I separated the stars from the nebulosity so I could stretch the nebula without blowing out the stars. Processed in both Photoshop and PixInsight.
