Description:
This nebula over the years has had so many names its hard to keep them straight. Currently its called the "Soul" nebula to jive with the nearby "Heart" nebula. In the old film days it was called the "Embryo" or "Baby" nebula. Sharpless 2-199 is the main glowing hydrogen cloud here, flanked by several other smaller isolated Sharpless nebula. The actual scattered star cluster is inside the nebula on the right side here and is IC1848. I can see hordes of small regions which would make excellent targets for a long focal length Newtonian astrograph located all around the edges of the primary nebula. Technical Data: 8" f/2 RASA astrograph, ASI2600mc + Baader UV + IDAS NBZ2 Integration time = 3h total, Happy Jack, Az.
