Westerhout 5 (Sharpless 2-199, LBN 667, Soul Nebula) is an emission nebula located in Cassiopeia. Several small open clusters are embedded in the nebula: CR 34, 632, and 634[citation needed] (in the head) and IC 1848 (in the body). The object is more commonly called by the cluster designation IC 1848. Small emission nebula IC 1871 is present just left of the top of the head, and small emission nebulae 670 and 669 are just below the lower back area. The galaxies Maffei 1 and Maffei 2 are both nearby the nebula, although light extinction from the Milky Way makes them very hard to see. Once thought to be part of the Local Group, they are now known to belong to their own group- the IC 342/Maffei Group. This complex is the eastern neighbour of IC1805 (Heart Nebula) and the two are often mentioned together as the "Heart and Soul".

Today is Frankie's 13th adoptaversary! The sweetest, handsomest boy. First photo is shortly after we got him. He was found matted and covered in fleas, so he was shaved everywhere but his face, legs & tail.

A picture of a teenage, long-haired lynx-point cat with blue eyes staring at the camera. His mane is growing in. A gorgeous, close-up of a lynx-point cat with gorgeous blue eyes staring directly at the camera. His little nurse is pink with a black outline.

Hopefully back to quicker turnarounds on projects; I snagged 6hrs on the Pac-Man nebula last night! Used a slightly different narrowband palette, which I feel highlights the core a bit more!

Total Time: 6hrs
Scope: Carbonstar 150p
Mount: Eq6-R Pro
Camera: ZWO ASI533mc Pro

Sometimes you rock. Sometimes you roll.
Sometimes you take a nap and start over.

My wife bought me a Dwarf Lab Astro telescope camera thingy for Christmas and I brought it on our trip to Nova Scotia last month. There are so many stars you can BARELY see Cassiopeia, OMG the Milky Way, and that dashed line in the upper right corner is a plane headed to Europe…. Unbelievable.
An astonishing starfield

"Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose." - Amanda McBroom, "The Rose."

Wishing all of you a rosy evening and a terrific Tuesday!

A rose and buds. Other flowers and green leaves are also present. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro. April 2025. Captured during a walk in the neighborhood. I am fascinated by how the buds start out a different color!

A very small "house" of sorts, is created out of a hollowed-out, moss-covered tree. A wooden door with a beautiful stained glass etching is resting open. There are some steps directly adjacent and a creek covered with greenery nearby.
