Description | IC1805 and IC1848 are large emission nebulae in Cassiopeia that I captured here with narrowband filters, a monochrome camera, and a camera lens with a focal length of 200mm. It was all shot from my light polluted backyard in Newark, DE. Tone mapped following J-P Metsavainio's procedure. |
