Absolutely gorgeous! I love what that Hyperstar is doing for your CAT. I thought it had to be a big APO taking the image at first. Well done!

Very nice.

Where exactly is the heart shape?

Thanks to all of u. This what u see is the center of the Heart. The Heart shape is recognisable only when u see the whole nebula with a wide field view.

I agree with NGCHunter. Absolutely gorgeous!
