Description

IC405 Flaming Star Nebula is an emission and reflection nebula.
For a gas ionization is responsible the   AE Aur (+5.99mag) star.
Object is located 1500ly from Earth, on the sky we can find it in
Auriga constellation near IC410 and open clusters M38 and M36.
The dust clouds on the image have own names in catalogues:
- LBN (Lynds' Catalog of Bright Nebulae) 
-> LBN 791
-> LBN 795
-> LBN 796
- LDN (Lynds' Catalog of Dark Nebulae)
-> LDN 1510

I have taken this object in following filters:
-> Baader CMOS Optimized Hydrogen Alpha 6.5nm - used as a green color
-> Baader CMOS Optimized Hydrogen Beta 5.5nm  - used as a blue color
-> Baader CMOS Optimized Sulfur II 6.5nm - used as a red color
-> Baader CMOS Optimized R/G/B  used for a stars color
Camera QHY600M work in high gain mode and I used 60s expositions for RGB and 600s for Narrow Bands filters.
I attached two images:
A) IC405 Flaming Star Nebula SIIHaHb-RGB Initial Version
B) IC405 Flaming Star Nebula without stars
D) IC405 Flaming Star Nebula SIIHaHb Final Version
