Notes

IC 1848 (Sh2-199 or LBN 672), commonly called the Soul nebula, is a large emission nebula associated with an open cluster of young stars in the constellation Cassiopeia. Several small open clusters are embedded in the nebula.

This nebula is near IC 1805, the Heart nebula, and the two are often mentioned together as the "Heart and Soul Nebulae".
