IC410 - The Tadpoles

The image was captured using a TS Hypergraph 8" f3.2 telescope, a ZWO ASI 294MM Pro camera, and Antlia V Pro 3nm filters (SHO). It was mounted on a Skywatcher Eq6-r-Pro mount, using an OAG+QHY5L-M. The software used included Sequence Generator Pro, PHD2, Pixinsight, and Adobe Photoshop.The image is a binning 2x2 SHO composition. The exposure details are SHO (3x30x300s), totaling 7.5 hours of exposure.I had to complete the S channel with coincident information from the H and O channel, because I couldn't get many good shots and it was quite weak and noisy.

IC 410 is an emission nebula located in the nebula-rich constellation Auriga at an estimated distance of 10.000 light-years. Partially obscured by foreground dust, the nebula surrounds NGC 1893, a young galactic star cluster. Formed in the interstellar cloud about 4 million years ago, the bright, hot star clusters energize the glowing gas. The cluster's intense radiation and stellar winds have sculpted the two tadpole-shaped structures located in the upper left center of this image. Denser, cooler compounds of gas and dust, tadpoles are about 10 light-years long and are likely sites of ongoing star formation. Their heads are outlined by glowing edges of ionized gas, while their tails recede from the central region of the cluster.

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.
