Description

Here are the tadpoles, IC410 in SHO.To image IC410 I used a TEC140 with AP field flattener, ASI6200MM camera with Chroma 3nm Ha and OIII filters on an unguided Astro-Physics 1100GTO mount.   Narrowband  subframes were 15 minutes each. About IC410 from Sky Safari:   An area of faint nebulosity approximately 12,000 ly away and 100 light years across. IC410 and it's associated star cluster NGC1893 is a great astrophotography target for the winter months.  The gas clouds have been sculpted by the stellar winds caused by radiation from the NGC1893 star cluster.   The 'tadpoles' are created when some of the denser gas in the central area of the nebula is driven away by the radiation from the star cluster and creates the streamers, or tadpole tails.    The tadpole tails are 10ly long so these tadpoles will make some incredibly large frogs!   This nebulous area is fairly young at an estimated 4M years old.
