The Soul Nebula is a star-forming region in the constellation Cassiopeia. I took this image during the full moon cycle of October 2024 from Starfront Remote Observatory as it is a bright deep-sky objects which shines bright in the emission gases of Hydrogen, Oxygen and Sulfur. Using narrow emission filters (3nm) for the three gases, I was able to isolate their distribution and blend them together in a classic Hubble-palette.
