Description

The colorful gems found within the constellation Auriga include colorful nebulae such as IC 405 (The Flaming Star), IC 410 (The Tadpoles), IC 417 (The Spider & Fly), and emission/reflection nebula NGC 1931.  This region also includes open star clusters NGC 1912, NGC 1907, and NGC 1893.  Several colorful larger stars are also present adding even more color to this star-dense region on the edge of the Winter Milky Way arm, located roughly between the Pleiades and Orion.  This image was captured on 11/5/21 and consists of 23 x 5' exposures shot with a Nikon D750 and Rokinon 135mm lens.  Exposure settings used were f/3.2 and ISO 1600.  Processed using Rawtherapee, Sequator, rnc-color-stretch, and Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom.
