Description

This area in Auriga contains several cataloged areas of interest. The beautiful area of nebulosity that dominates the image is IC410, sometimes called the Tadpole Nebula. It is approximately 12,000 light years distant, and 100 light years across. The open star cluster NGC1893 is located in the center of IC410. Off to the right side of the image is the iconic Spider and Fly; IC417 and NGC1931 respectively. Last but not least, is the open cluster NGC1907 in the lower right hand corner of the image.

My data was acquired over multiple nights in January 2022.
