IC 1795 , also nicknamed the Fishhead Nebula 3 , is an emission nebula located approximately 6,000 light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia . It was discovered by the American astronomer Edward Barnard towards the end of the year 1890.
Close to the Perseus Double Cluster and the Heart Nebula in Earth’s sky , this complex extends across the Perseus Arm of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, and measures approximately 70 light years across.
It is quite easy to observe and is located in an environment very rich in stars with neighbors IC 1805 and IC 1848 , as well as numerous open clusters.
