Description

Images from the following two scopes (piggybacked) contributed to this image:

AG12+ASI1600MM at .70 asec/pix

TV127is+ASI183MM at .75 asec/pix.

They were all registered to the best R image taken on the AG12.

Using L from the TV NP127is refractor effectively eliminates the spikes from the AG12.

IC 417 is an emission nebula in the constellation Auriga, informally known as the Spider Nebula, that is energized by embedded hot, massive blue stars. The small tiny clouds of gas visible in the center of image are locations of new star formation. (www.noao.edu)
