Description

The Spider IC417 and the Fly NGC1931 are two emission nebulae located respectively about 10,000 and 7,000 light-years away in the constellation Auriga, near the famous IC405 & IC410 nebulae.

Should have done it before in the season to get it more high in the sky, but had a couple of clear nights with moon at this period with quite not much NB choices due to galaxy season.. so decided to give it a try anyway instead of shooting galaxies...FWHM was quite poor but still happy from what came out of it :-)

Clear skies to all!
