Nebulae Of the Auriga constellation
Flaming star nebula
Officially known as IC405, the Flaming Star Nebula likes about 1500 light years and spans approximately 5 light years. The purple region's color is a mixture of red and blue light emitted by the star AE Aurigae but reflected to us by surrounding dust. The two regions are referred to as emission nebula and reflection nebula, respectively.
Tadpoles of IC 410
IC 410 is a faint and dusty emission nebula of more than 100 light-years across approximately 12,000 light-years away from Earth. The two tadpole like structures consist denser gas and dust and are approximately 10 light years long and are sites of ongoing star formation.
Spider and Fly nebulae
The spider-shaped gas cloud is an emission nebula labeled IC 417, while the smaller fly-shaped cloud on the right is referred to as NGC 1931 and is both an emission nebula and a reflection nebula.
Total exposure - 24.5 hours
