- Description: First light with the new camera, the ZWO ASI533MC Pro. This is the
Heart Nebula in Cassiopeia, also known as NGC896 and IC1805. This shot was from inside Calgary.
Skies are terrible here, probably Bortle 9 or so. I also used the Antlia ALP-T 5nm light
pollution filter to collect only red hydrogen-alpha and green oxygen-3 from the nebula. It was
mostly successful but it was noisy, 4 hours isn't long enough!
