Description

Backyard SHO (with LRGB stars) 2-panel mosaic of IC410, the Tadpoles Nebula, taken from suburban Silicon Valley skies. It was shot on 8 different nights In December 2023.  The bottom panel was shot on Dec 9,10,23 and the top on Dec 13,14,15,21,22,23. The date given is the first day of collection. 

I had originally planned a single panel image, but after processing about 12 hours of data from Dec 9,10 (showing the lower half of the image) shot with my 10" RC and ASI1600, I decided to extend it above to a vertical 2-panel mosaic. 

The number of hours of exposure (~32 hours) is misleading as each panel has has roughly 1/2 that, and of that 2-3 hours was dedicated to stars.  The amount of narrowband data used was 11.4 hours for the bottom panel and 16 hours for the top panel. Processing was SHO using the techniques in the PixInsight narrowband imaging video tutorials.
