Hi folks, it was good to see so many of you Friday night. Mario has sent us
a new set of nebula images, six in all, including four of IC1806, the Heart
Nebula in Cassiopeia. The images are a project of sorts, ranging from a
wide-field to a narrow focus. You can see the new images here
https://gaac.us/gallery-2/mario3/, the bottom six in the gallery. Mario's
notes follow:

• IC1805-W is a wide field view (2x2.5 degrees) taken with my wide field
  scope (C8 with hyperstar) for large sized objects. This shows why it's
  called the Heart Nebula (ok, so the right heart is in a bit of failure :)

• The second IC1805 is through my 6 inch refractor, a closer view, taken
  with 3 narrow band filters.

• The close up labeled IC1806 is the section on the left where the three
  bands of gas meet (or for a cardiologist the "upper septum :)  I am able to
  zoom into with my 32 inch large scope as a close up of this zone. This is a
  place where new stars are forming in the dust and gas clouds.

• Finally, the "center" of the heart nebula, also known as Melotte 15,
  the star cluster with new stars, and an eroding gas cloud from the
  resulting stellar winds.

• NGC 1491 is a nice star forming region through the 32 inch scope, all
  narrow band imaging.

• SH2-157 is taken though the C8 hyperstar, known as the "lobster claw."

Mario:  all exceptional images, like both of the heart images,
