IC410 Tadpoles Nebula and IC417 Spider nebula

[Trev S]

Attached is my attempt at imaging IC410 the Tadpoles Nebula and IC417 the Spider Nebula in the constellation of Auriga. This was taken from my back garden in Surrey on the 18th and 19th of January 2024 on two of the few clear(ish) nights of the year so far.

IC410 is an Hii region located approximately 12,400 light-years away. It is associated with the young open cluster NGC 1893. The cluster has an apparent magnitude of 7.5 and an apparent size of 11 arcminutes.

IC417 (also know as SH2-234) is an emission nebula approximately 100 light years across.

Hi Trevor

An excellent image and getting two objects well framed with loads of details.  

Good timing as it's frog spawn season at the moment!

Hello Trevor
Very good image; all the detail is there and nicely balanced, both in exposure, colour and composition.
Would you be able to tell us the field of view, dimensions of the image please?
Thank you for sharing.
William

Thanks for the kind comments.

William, this image was slightly cropped from the original to remove stacking artifacts.  The final image is about 2.25' by 1.49' according to UniMap.

That’s a very nice image Trev. I like the composition you achieved of framing the two objects in the same field of view. I’ve imaged the tadpoles previously but not the spider nebula – maybe one for the future (if we ever get any clear nights).

Well done and thanks for sharing
