Westerhout 5, more often designated as IC 1848, is a large nebula that can be found 7,500 light-years away in Cassiopeia. It is rich in Hydrogen Alpha and is often photographed with its neighboor, the Heart Nebula.
 
This was captured with our telescope from Las Vegas under Bortle 9 skies, yet the data is very clean thanks to the high-quality filters used and the 34 hours of integration time spent across several nights.
