The Soul Nebula
The 'heart' of the Soul Nebula. This image was taken with the Seestar S50. Total integration time was 10.6 hours of individual 60-second exposures. The image was stacked and processed in Siril, including BlurXterminator and NoiseXterminator. Final finish was completed in Affinity Photo.
The Soul is a stellar nursery. The cavities, pillars, and bubbles sculpted by the intense stellar winds can be seen in this croppoed image.
