IC405 and IC410 Lrgb

2-panel mosaic of the "Flaming Star Nebula" at left and the "Tadpole Nebula" at right in Lrgb.

 

This is a pretty cool area in the constellation of Auriga. You have just about everything going on here; emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, dust clouds, star formation, open cluster, young and old stars. This nice astrophotography target passes almost straight overhead near the zenith during the winter months.
