Nebulae

I hope to see some northern nebulae while I am up north.
Click on the information circle (i) at the bottom of this image, zoom in (+) and look at the red patches between Cygnus and Auriga.

Note the Andromeda galaxy and the double cluster (NGC 869/884) below the Heart and Soul nebulae. The names show up when you move the mouse over them.

"Nick Risinger broke the sky down into 624 areas (each 12 degrees wide) and captured each portion through 60 exposures. Four short, medium, and long shots with each of six cameras were taken to help reduce noise, satellite trails, and other inaccuracies."
