IC410 The Tadpoles Nebula
Well I added some more integration and RGB for true star color. I have to say the improvement is very nice!
This is IC 410 it is a faint and dusty emission nebula of more than 100 light-years across approximately 12,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Auriga. Notable are two streamers of material, known as the “Tadpoles of IC 410”. These tadpoles, which consist of denser, cooler gas and dust, are approximately 10 light-years long and potentially sites of ongoing star formations. They are in the center of the image. Because of these tadpoles, IC 410 is sometimes nicknamed the Tadpoles Nebula.
Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.
