IC410 - Bright Nebula in Auriga

Due to the moonlight last night my ventures were restricted to narrowband imaging. So I had ago at the other half of the IC405/410 dynamic duo.

IC410 is 2200 light years distant and is 13 x 14 light years in diameter. Note the lovely little tadpole like globules. I had forgotten that IC410 has these two!

Anyway here's the image;

Splendid image Dave, what strikes me is the star cluster with the smiley face

Hi Dave,

Good image, it would be interesting to do the same without the moon and check out the differences.

Later,

Jed.
