Description

This is my longest integration time image to date, with 15 hours of data to get this image. It was really tough to process and get right and I'm still not 100% happy with it, but its the best that my skills will let me do at the moment.

IC405 otherwise known as the Flaming Star Nebula is located in the constellation of Auriga. It is around 1500 light years away and around 5 ly across.
