IC 1805 a bright nebula in Cassiopeia

IC1805 is unusual in that even the usually mega reliable SkyMap Pro
doesn't really give a good impression of what the nebula will look
like though a telescope. Indeed the first time I imaged IC 1805 I had
to double check that I had not mis-identified the object. IC1805 was
both larger and more complex than I had imagined.

The image was created by median combining 6 x 300 second images taken
with a Takahashi Sky 90 with SBIG ST-10MXE and a Hydrogen Alpha
filter.
