IC 410, The Tadpoles Nebula
This was shot under local light polluted skies, and there were some high clouds that reduced contrast as well. But shooting in narrowband, I was still able to get some signal. I would like to try this object again in the future potentially under darker skies when I can also get more subframes.
The Tadpoles Nebula is named for the 2 little squiggles that look like tadpoles, shown in to the right of center in my image. This dusty star forming region lies approximately 12,000 light years away, and is part of a larger region that also includes the Flaming Star Nebula.
