Description

IC 410, colloquially known as the Tadpole Nebula in reference to the two clumps of gas and dust near the centre of this region with little tails resembling tadpoles swimming through the water.

This is another target that is so often captured in narrowband, so I wanted to do something different and bring out more faithful hues. There is an abundance of OIII and SII emission here, which combines with the Hydrogen emission to create a beautiful palette of reds, pinks and purples. Several small reflection nebulae and some dusty regions are also present in this field.
