Description

Rather than ask my widefield rig to resolve the tadpoles, I decided to go the other direction with a mosaic of IC405 (Flaming Star), IC410 (Tadpoles), and IC417 (The Spider) in SHO. I also wanted to highlight the tadpoles and structure in the Flaming Star, while also preserving the background nebulosity. This is a two panel mosaic, where the first (upper) panel was imaged on 1/21/21, and the second (lower) panel was imaged on 1/29/21.
