My previous attempts at the Heart Nebula have never managed to capture the whole nebula due to my own scopes having to narrow a field of view (FOV). However, Mark Hellaby has kindly loaned me his William Optics WhiteCat 51 telescope which, at 250mm, has a much wider FOV and so I am able to image some of the larger nebulae in their entirety. My first go at using this excellent scope was to image the Heart Nebula.
And it really does look like a science textbook cross section of the human heart!
