Description

Located in the constellation of Auriga IC417, or the Spider is an emission nebula approximately 100 light years across.
It is located about 10,000 light years from Earth.
It is a hotbed of new star formation.

This image was obtained using the previous GSO RC10 and the new CFF10, same camera and filters.

I am still on process to finish the collimation of this new equipement, the results are so good so far.
