IC1805


Constellation: Cassiopeia

After seeing Tom How's image of IC1805, I was inspired to try something similar. Tom used his Astrodon 6nm Ha filter, while I used my 13nm Astronomik filter. We both use an Artemis 285 camera, but the scopes are not quite the same. See his page for setup details.
