Description

I took this image over 8 nights, from February 11th to March 1st. This is the famous Tadpole Nebula, it is an emission nebula that lies approximately 1200 light years away and spans 100 light years. Embedded in this nebula is NGC 1893, a young star cluster. Its stellar winds distort the denser, cooler clouds of gas that form the "Tadpoles." I took equal data sets consisting of 8hrs of Ha, OIII, & SII. This will end up being my last nebula capture until the Milky Way returns in a couple of months.
