Description

Tadpole nebula is probably in the first 5 or so targets i attempted to image back when i was starting astrophotography years ago. I had an old DSLR that i just recently astromodified myself, and was ridiculously excited to see nebulosity poke out in addition to seeing faint globules resembling tadpoles.

I told myself i would revisit this target again once i had a few years of experience under my belt, hopefully with some better gear as well. This is the result of that - i wanted to make sure i put in a good amount of time into imaging the tadpoles in order to really emphasize the beautiful structures within this open star cluster region.
