#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #FlamingStarNebula is an emission and reflection nebula that is illuminated by #AEAurigae, the bright white star in the center of this image. The #TadpoleNebula, int the bottom left, is an emission nebula 12,000 light years away. #16Aurigae is the yellow star system in the bottom middle. I took twelve 5-minute exposures of this subject the other night before it disappeared behind my building. I will work on better framing. #StillLearning

My 1st attempt imaging #IC405 #Caldwell31 the #FlamingStarNebula. It needs way more data, but this was 89 x 90 seconds + 35 darks, taken from Oxfordshire with an astro-modded #Canon1100D with a light pollution clip filter attached to a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor
