PhotographerAbe MegahedLocationMadison, WisconsinDate2:30 AM, October 25thEquipmentWide Image: 12-24mm lens / Nikon D70 CloseUp Inset: Intes M503 5" Maksutov Cassegrain / Nikon D70DescriptionWhen I firt started searching for this comet, I couldn't figure it out. I saw no comet but there was this peculiar yellow planet like star that didn't seem to belong. So, I dragged out my scopes (a 5" Mak and an 8" SCT). The moment the "star" swept into the field of view, my jaw dropped. It is like an intensely bright fuzzy nucleus surrounded by a transparent yellow bubble. Truly amazing. I've never seen anything remotely like it. It looks sort of like the Eskimo Nebula in Gemini, but much bigger and much brighter. |

Open clusters CR 34, 632, and 634 (in the head) and IC 1848 (in the body) are embedded in the nebula. The object is more commonly called by the cluster designation IC 1848. Small emission nebula IC 1871 is present just left of the top of the head, and small emission nebulae 670 and 669 are just below the lower back area. This complex is the eastern neighbor of IC1805 (Heart Nebula) and the two are often mentioned together as the "Heart and Soul". |
