Description

Imaged LBN807 (IC410) using dual narrowband filter (H-alpha/OIII) and processed to HOO color palette. Image of  a young star cluster, estimated to be one to two million years old. At a distance of around 11 kpc (around 36'000 light years) from the center of the Milky Way, it lies on the outer edge of the Milky Way. The cluster lies in the Auriga OB2 association and is connected to the H-II region IC 410 (LBN 807, Sh2-236), which also includes the smaller nebulae Sim 129 and Sim 130, as well as dark molecular clouds. There are five O-type stars in the cluster, which are primarily responsible for the glow of the nebula. New stars are still forming in the nebula. [Ref: Deep Sky Corner].
