I had created two versions of Hubble Palette Color Map HSO and SHO, and I decided to keep and process the SHO version.

I felt that the Flaming star nebula should be the storm of fire and Tadpoles should be in the hot spring (blue) pool.

Collecting a lot of Ha data allowed me to stretch more details on red color and the same time to control the noise.

Hope you like this image.

C & C are welcome.

IC410 AND IC405 - THE TADPOLES AND THE FLAMING STAR

The Flaming Star Nebula (IC405, lower left), located in the constellation Auriga, is an emission and reflection nebula that is illuminated by the bright variable star AE Aurigae. IC405 spans about 5 light-years about 1500ly away.

IC410 The Tadpoles Nebula (aka IC410)

This faint, dusty, emission nebula locates in the constellation Auriga about 12,000 light-years away from Earth. The Tadpoles Nebula is a region of faint nebulosity surrounding the open star cluster NGC 1893 that lies in the center of the nebula. There are two tadpole shapes in the center of the image about 10 light-years long which consist of denser, cooler gas, and dust, and it is known as the Tadpoles of IC 410.
