Heart and Soul nebulas with the double cluster
Wide field image of the region of Perseus and Cassiopeia containing the bright Double Cluster at bottom left, and the large emission nebulas known as the Heart and Soul nebulas at top. The Heart nebula at right is IC 1805; the Soul nebula, or Embryo nebula, at top left is IC 1848. The bright detached nebula at right is NGC 896. To the right of the Double Cluster is the large scattered star cluster, Stock 2, or the Muscle Man Cluster, barely standing out from the Milky Way background. The compact star cluster above the Double Cluster is NGC 957. The small, reddened Local Group galaxies, Maffei 1 and 2 are visible above centre amid the dark lanes of interstellar dust. Taken from Alberta, Canada, October 12, 2020.
