The Fish Head Nebula

Image Description and Details : The Fish head Nebula (IC1795) is a star forming region in Casseopeia, and part of the Heart Nebula Complex. Often seen as an appendage in wide field shots, close up it has some fascinating dust lanes, back lighting and reflection as well as emission components. Its relatively close to Earth at 6000 light years. This image is shot in SHO ( Hubble) Palette and is full frame ( no crop) at 2650mm Focal length.  I shot this over 4 nights about two weeks ago on my Planewave CDK14 out in the New Mexico desert.  This was my first test of 15 min unguided sub shooting on the Planewave mounted on an L-350 mount. I was able to use about 80% of all subs.
