Description

Object:  IC410 – The Tadpoles modofoed Ha -New Camera Test
This was a brief test of a new QHY600M-PH camera to check focus and spacing for field flatter, but it came out really well for only 90 minutes of integration.
IC410 is an emission nebula in Auriga “The Charioteer” about 12,000 light years away that surrounds the open start cluster NGC1893. It contains the “tadpoles” (Simeis 129 & Simeis 130), which are filament like artifacts created by stellar winds and radiation emanated from the star cluster. The picture also contains the open star cluster NGC1893.
