The Heart Nebula

I like to call this nebula the "Heart of Cassiopeia" sometimes. The Heart Nebula is one of my favorite targets to capture in false-color "SHO" - aka the "Hubble Palette" (as it was popularized by the Hubble Space Telescope). While I wasn't pleased with how this image turned out at first, it's grown on me since I finished it, and is probably one of my favorite photographs from this year.
