IC410 &IC 405 The Tadpole nebula and the Flaming star nebula
This patch of nebulosity is deep within the constellation of Auriga the charioteer. I used an 80mm refractor with a focal reducer making it f/6.3. I also used an Atik 383L mono CCD camera, a set of astronomic filters Ha, Sll and 0lll. I used a Vixen Atlas mount assisted with PHD auto guiding. I captured 10 minute sub-frames and matching dark frames and combined them with flat field frames to reduce the effect of vignetting in the final image.
