Description

The Flaming Star Nebula (also known as IC 405 , SH 2-229, or Caldwell 31) is an emission and reflection nebula in the constellation Auriga north of the celestial equator, surrounding the bluish, irregular variable star AE Aurigae.  Unfortunately I had twice as much data but my mount was having issues so I worked with what I have.  Enjoy!

See Revision B for the starless version!

Clear Skies!
