The Heart and Soul Nebulas with Double Cluster, in the region of Perseus and Cassiopeia.
Wide field view 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 (aka Embryo Nebula) at top left is IC 1848. The bright detached nebula at right is NGC 896. Also in the image to the right of the Double Cluster is the large scattered star cluster, Stock 2, the Muscleman Cluster, barely standing out from the Milky Way background here. The compact star cluster above the Double Cluster is NGC 957. The small, reddened Local Group galaxies, Maffei 1 and Maffei 2 are visible above centre amid the dark lanes of interstellar dust.
