Description

I recently had success shooting the Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405) and had shot its companion here before as part of a widefield shot but am working with a longer fl telescope these days so thought it would be fun to do them both.
I didn't know that this was called the Tadpole Nebula but once I got in close I saw why. It's unusual to name a big nebula after such a small feature, yes?
Nevertheless, the name is well-chosen I think.
