Heart Nebula Supernova 2 pane mosaic

I was looking for something unusual to image and i came across this hiding in plain sight and thought it was worth a look. You can just make out the shock front center right of the image.

William Optics Star 71, Asi 1600

17.3 hrs total, some in 300 second subs with 300 gain, some with 60 seconds and 455 gain, some with 60 seconds and gain 399. I just lobbed all the subs in to APP and the result looked decent so i went with it. The shock front wasn't visible in the individual subs.
