Description

The Arizona weather has shifted to heavy cloud cover for the foreseeable future so this will be the last image for 2021. I decided to do a 2 panel mosaic to capture the Flaming Star and Tadpole Nebulae. This part of the night sky is full of other interesting targets so NGC 1912, NGC 1907, NGC 1931 and IC 417 are also in the field of view.

The weather kept me from getting as much data as I would have preferred for the SHO channels and clouds rolled in before I could shoot any RGB for better star color. Oh well, it is what it is.

Happy Holidays to everyone!
