•  Info First of all please note that this is not a space agency photo from Hubble or similar, it is amateur astrophotography from a user with an account on Commons. As such I think it's outstanding, it can't match the sharpness of NASA photos obviously but it's really incredible work anyway and to me deserves the star for being a beautiful, high-resolution, high-quality photo. The subject is the Heart Nebula in the constellation of Cassiopeia, which currently has no FPs. The author has provided considerable detail on the hardware and software used as well as his own interesting personal reflections on the technical challenges.

It already seems to have plenty . Daniel Case (talk) 06:00, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Great, but the file should be renamed. --Yann (talk) 09:57, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• Yann, I don't think it should. IC 1805 is not a number generated by the camera, it is the reference of the Heart Nebula in the Index Catalogue, which is one of the two major catalogues astronomers use to refer to objects in the deep sky (because colloquial names such as 'Heart Nebula' are often inconsistently used). The other is the New General Catalogue. As for the other numbers in the title, they seem to be part of the author's personal code for technical information, and they correspond to data in the image description.

•  Support Professional images have a higher resolution but we did not miss many sights. It has become remarkable as an amateur shot with cheap hardware. --IamMM (talk) 12:01, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
•  Support It doesn't need a disclaimer. Even it this comes from James Webb ST, I would still support it. - Benh (talk) 12:20, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• I completely agree. But I prefer to nominate this kind of photo than NASA photos, I find it really impressive that amateurs can do this. Thanks for your vote. Cmao20 (talk) 17:02, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
