Nebulae and Star Clusters in Auriga
The winter Milky Way constellation of Auriga is rich in nebulae and star clusters. This widefield image shows the Flaming Star nebula at the extreme left, the Tadpole nebula to its upper right, near the centre of the frame is the Spider nebula with the small Fly nebula right and up. Two large open star clusters are in the frame - M36 at the right and M38 at the bottom edge.
This image is an integration of a stack of over 14 hours of data captured with a QHY268C camera and a William Optics Redcat51 telescope. Image acquisition was controlled by Sequence Generator Pro and PHD2, all post-processing was carried out in PixInsight.
Observed from Prachinburi, Thailand.
