Description

Tadpole Nebula in SHO:

When first viewing this deep sky object it's hard not to imagine a pond teeming with life. In some ways, this isn't so far from the truth... except this nursery is more then 100 light years across!

This pair of images includes both normal and starless versions of the Tadpole Nebula (IC 410) in the constellation Auriga. I have combined roughly 8.5hrs of narrow-band data in Ha, Sii & Oiii, shown here in traditional SHO 'Hubble' palette.

The data was collected over multiple sessions during Nov.-Dec./2020
