Tadpole nebula - IC410 - NGC1893 in SHO with RGB Stars

Here is our new deep sky target, imaged from a remote observatory in Portugal, Alentejo by AstroDarkTeam composed of Pascal Gouraud and Stéphane Rolland. A total exposure of 75 hours was achieved between October 09 and December 19, 2023

Thanks again to the French Astro ARO team for the efficient management of this superb site which hosts us.

IC 410 is an emission nebula located in the nebula-rich constellation Auriga at an estimated distance of 12,000 light-years. This cloud shines, because its atoms are excited by the radiation of the stars of the NGC 1893 cluster. These young stars, only 4 million years old, spit out strong stellar winds which also sculpt two cosmic tadpoles. These are curious structures made of denser gas and dust. They are about 10 light-years long and are likely sites of ongoing star formation. Their heads are outlined by bright edges of ionized gas while their tails trail away from the cluster's central region.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
