Description

The Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405 / Caldwell 31) is about 1,500 light-years away and 5 light-years across. It is an emission and reflection nebula located in the constellation of Auriga. The image was taken at my small observatory using my Skywatcher Esprit 100ED, the ASI294MC Pro camera and the Optolong L-Pro Filter.
