Description

We have done IC405 before but with a high gain and we wanted to see how the most natural gain 101 of the ZWO ASI533MC-pro would work here. Also, we were a little bit puzzled how others get the bluish central regions (and we still are). We love this nebula and the whole story of the Flaming Star AE Aur escaping from Orion and marching through the Galaxy.  We summarized our result from last year and the story of this nebula here:

The new image is not as saturated as the old one so I guess we have done a better job!

Acknowledgments
After months of darkness, between 22 February - 5 March 2022, we observed a series of very rare phenomena called "Clear Skies", coincident also with New Moon. We appreciate Mother Nature's collaboration in making this project possible.
