Image Description and Details: IC410 is an area of emission nebulosity surrounding NGC 1893, an open cluster of stars in Auriga. The titular tadpoles are about 10 light years in length, and are thought to be areas of star formation, their distinctive shape caused by erosion from stellar winds and radiation. I collected 8 hours of narrowband data with a OSC camera and an HaOIII filter, as well as 1 hour of RGB data with a light pollution filter for stars. I opted for a blend of HOO and Foraxx palettes.

Equipment Details: I captured and processed this image using an Astro-Tech AT92 telescope, 0.8 reducer/flattener and ZWO ASI533MC Pro camera. Optolong L-eXtreme & L-Pro filters were used.
