Description

Hello friends! Another shot for you from cold, last night. This time, I tried something new for me. This is IC417 located in the constellation of Auriga IC417, or the Spider is an emission nebula approximately 100 light years across. It is located about 10,000 light years from Earth. It is a hotbed of new star formation. For this shot, I used my GSO 8" F8 Ritchey Chretien at F6.4 (1295mm) and ZWO 294 MC Pro camera at -15c, gain 175. Optolong L-Pro filter. 21 x 5 minutes. 105 minutes total integration time. I like the way this came out. Enjoy !!
