Description

Introducing the Flaming Star Nebula, a celestial masterpiece captured by Al Sadeem Observatory using the ASI1600 CCD Camera, Meade 16" f/8 LX850 Telescope, and Skywatcher EQ8 Pro. This diffuse emission/reflection nebula, located 1500 light-years away in the constellation Auriga, spans about 5 light years and is visible with a small telescope. The image showcases the detailed rippling hydrogen gas emitted by this object. A true wonder of the universe!
