Description

IC 410, also known as the Tadpoles Nebula, is an emission nebula about 12,000 ly from Earth in the constellation Auriga. It contains two elongated structures made of dust and gas (the "Tadpoles") similar to the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula. The Tadpoles are roughly 10 ly long and are potentially regions of ongoing star formation.

The weather's not looking good tonight or tomorrow, so this should wrap up my 2nd year of imaging. Looking forward to next year - I think I'll start with some of the goodies in Orion! Hoping all of you have a safe and Happy New Year.
