The Heart Nebula with Melotte 15

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Centred in the image is the star cluster Melotte 15*. The image was a challenged to compose and a lot of time was spent trying to adjust the compositional balance. The image has been cropped. I have moved away from the common SHO colour scheme and have tried to get a more natural look. As with all narrow band imaging the word natural is extremely subjective.
