IC 405-410_Int_ABG_CC_HT_MT_ET_Sat-2
IC 405 and IC410
Found in the constellation Auriga, IC 405, aka The Flaming Star Nebula, is the object in the lower left of the image. The central star in this object, AE Aurigia, is believed to have originated in the region of Orion’s belt. This energetic O-type star illuminates and ionizes the nebula. The nebula is approximately 1500 light years distant and is approximately 5 light years across.
In the upper right portion of the image is IC 410 contains the stellar nurseries known as “The Tadpoles.” In this wide field image however, they are only visible to those with extremely vivid imaginations. IC 410 is approximately 12,000 light years from earth and has a diameter of approximately 190 light years.
This image was captured using an AT65 refractor and an SBIG ST4000 color camera, mounted on a Losmandy G11. The capture software was SGP. It data was obtained on 01-11 and 12 of 2018 from GNTO in Belen, NM. Processing was done using PixInsight and Photoshop CS2. 15 x 10’ subframes were used, together with dark frames.
