I have completed a full wide field image of the Heart. This was made with a Vivitar 180mm SLR lens. I have attached a mid size image, but a full size image and exposure / processing details can be accessed at:

http://jthommes.com/Astro/IC1805.htm

Optics were a 180mm SLR lens at f/3.5. Camera was an Artemis285.

A relatively short exposure time...

The lower portion image (LBN 656 - previously posted) can be accessed here:

Great shot Jim. It is a great widefield view of a beautiful object. Well done!
