About this image

A close up of the lovely tadpoles which are part of IC 410 - a dusty emission nebula in the constellation of Auriga. These are about 12,000 light years from Earth. They are usually presented in the Hubble Palette, however I'm an old-fashioned purist and prefer to use colours that correspond with the actual emission wavelengths, even if it's not as pretty as the Hubble Palette!
Drizzle x2 to get the maximum resolution, and Ha stars used with RGB colour.
