Description

This winter I’ve been mainly imaging in and around the rich area of the Auriga constellation, almost exclusively using my Samyang 135 widefield rig.  Here with the whopping 7.50o x 5.67o field-of-view this set-up provides, it easily incorporates both emission nebulae IC405, AKA the Flaming Star Nebula and it’s nearby (visually) neighbour IC410, the Tadpoles Nebula, as well as much more. 

This image has been processed as SHO versions of the Hubble Palette,  posted here is a dynamic mix.  Once more I have been impressed by the ability of this small camera lens to produce exceptional detail and colours, but especially here with the starless Ha version of IC410, where the signature features or so-called tadpoles have been captured to great effect (see cropped Ha version of IC410).
