Tadpoles Nebula & NGC 1893 - SHO Palette Located in the constellation Auriga, NGC 1893 is a star cluster surrounded by a large HII region designated as IC 410. This are has produced some stunning nebulosity including a portion we call the Tadpoles. Normally I focus on its neighbor, the Flaming Star Nebula, but I decided to put on my Meade 80mm Triplet and shoot this are at a focal length of 480mm. I was only able to get just under six hours, amd because of other targets I want to get I may not get any more data on this for a while . 49 x 420s Dark, flat, dark flat and bias calibration frames 800 ISO - Bortle 8 - 7°C / 45% RH .

IC410 The Tadpole Nebula by Chris Grimmer on Flickr.

Snuggle in with a coffee and look at the gorgeous Tadpole Nebula (IC 410). This beautiful star forming region is located about 12,000 light years away. The cloud itself is about 100 light years wide or 1 quadrillion km! (1 with fifteen 0's). Taking a closer look, the interstellar cloud is shaped by the surrounding stars or open cluster NGC 1893. These stars help shape it through stellar winds and radiation. The cluster of stars all around this nebula were formed about 4 million years ago. It's quite a beautiful image and is taken in the infrared spectrum by NASA's WISE instrument. Credit: NASA - WISE via APOD #tadpoleNebula #nebula #astronomy #nasa #IC410 #NGC1893
