Tadpole Emission Nebula
I love that I can travel light years and stay in my backyard.
This is an emission nebula IC410, also known as the Tadpole Nebula. There is an open cluster in the center of the nebula, NGC 1893. Stellar winds from these young stars sculpts some of the nebula's gas and dust into two tadpoles near the center of the gas cloud.
Techie Stuff:
Explore Scientific ED102 Scope, Skywatcher EQ6R-pro Mount, ZWO ASI1600MMPro-Cool, Nightcrawler focus/rotator.
Data: 8 hours over 2 nights in January 2019. Average exposure was 5 minutes. Combination of RGB, HA & Oiii (I took Sii but did not see any detail) Edit with PixInsight, Photoshop, OnOne2017
