Description

IC 410, also known as the Tadpole Nebula, is a striking emission nebula located in the constellation Auriga. Its distinctive shape resembles that of a tadpole, hence its popular nickname. The nebula is primarily composed of hydrogen gas excited by the radiation of nearby hot stars, causing it to glow in brilliant shades of red and blue. IC 410 is also home to a young star cluster known as NGC 1893, which is responsible for illuminating and shaping the surrounding nebula with its powerful stellar winds and intense ultraviolet radiation. 

The processing was done with my friend Clement who enjoys a lot narrowband images.

I hope you will like it.
