Westerhout 5 (Sharpless 2-199, LBN 667, Soul Nebula) is an emission nebula located in Cassiopeia. Several small open clusters are embedded in the nebula: CR 34, 632, and 634(in the head) and IC 1848 (in the body). The object is more commonly called by the cluster designation IC 1848.
Small emission nebula IC 1871 is present just left of the top of the head, and small emission nebulae 670 and 669 are just below the lower back area.

IC 1805 and IC 1848
A mosaic made of four individual photos of the area around IC 1805 (Heart Nebula) and IC 1848 (Soul Nebula) in Cassiopeia. Photographed with the APO 94 mm refractor and the ASI 2600MC color CMOS camera in Åva, October 30th 2024. Exposure was 20 * 3 min for three of the photos and 10 * 3 min for the last one, all using IDAS LPS D2 light pollution filter. Postprocessed in Pixinsight and Photoshop.
