Description

This was a fun 1 night wide field target with below average seeing with 135 mm set up. 

The Flaming Star Nebula is a diffuse hydrogen emission and reflection nebula in the Milky Way. Approximately 1,500 light years from earth, the nebula located in the Constellation of Auriga. The main star at the center of the image is AE Auriga irradiation of surrounding hydrogen gas causes the deep red emission. The nebula measures approximately 5 light years across.

The tadpole nebula, C 410, is an open cluster of stars in the constellation of Auriga surrounded by an area of hydrogen and oxygen gas NGC 1893. Located approximately 12,400 light years away. The main interest of the phot is the two tadpole appearing formation in the top right of the nebula.

The spider Nebula (IC 417) is located in the constellation of Auriga about 10K light years from earth. It is part of a large HII region. I was pleasantly pleased with Ha and as well as the S2 signal around the main nebula toward the fly nebula and Sh2-232.
