Description

Next evolution of IC410 captured during blessed clear skies over the Black Hills of western South Dakota (SoDak).

The subs were captured in our new observatory - slight winds, cold temps and invading local light pollution were all repulsed by the 2.2m NexDome that I was blessed to be able to buy from a very gracious and dear astronomy club (South Dakota Black Hills Astronomical Society - aka SDBHAS) member.

Description: Faint emission nebula IC 410, captured under backyard suburban skies with narrowband filters. It also features two remarkable inhabitants of the cosmic pond of gas and dust. Right of center are the tadpoles of IC 410. Partly obscured by foreground dust, the nebula itself surrounds NGC 1893, a young galactic cluster of stars. Formed in the interstellar cloud a mere 4 million years ago, the intensely hot, bright cluster stars energize the glowing gas. Composed of denser cooler gas and dust, the tadpoles are around 10 light-years long and are likely sites of ongoing star formation. Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation their heads are outlined by bright ridges of ionized gas while their tails trail away from the cluster's central young stars. IC 410 lies some 10,000 light-years away, toward the nebula-rich constellation Auriga. (Source: NASA APOD)

Clear Skies & God Bless all fellow AstroBin'ers!
