IC410 is a colourful nebula in Auriga, sometimes called the Tadpole Nebula as a result of the little swimmers on it's edge.

The red colours come from ionised hydrogen gas and the blue tints come from scattered light reflecting off gas from nearby stars.

Scope: Skywatcher MN190

Focal length: 1000mm f/5.2

Exposure: 12x300s(R); 8x300s(G); 6x300s(B) all binned 2x2

 

This is the last image I'll take with this camera as I've now sold it as I consolidate my equipment and prepare for some new imaging challenges.
