Description

IC 405 is an emission/reflection nebula in Auriga. This time of year Auriga is already past the meridian so I was only able to get 130 images (2 minute subs) before it was too low.  This nebula is very large, so I used a Stellarvue SV90 (90mm F7) refractor to try and capture the entire nebula.
