Title

IC405 Flaming Star & IC410 Tadpoles Neblae (Widefield)

About this image

There’s a lot going on in and around the Auriga constellation and this winter I’ve been mainly imaging in this region, almost exclusively using the Samyang 135 widefield rig. Here with the whopping 7.50^ox 5.67^ofield-of-view this set-up provides, it easily incorporates both emission nebulae IC405, AKA the Flaming Star Nebula and it’s nearby (visually) neighbour IC410, the Tadpoles Nebula, as well as much more.

This image has been processed as a Hubble Palette SHO version using a dynamic mix.
