These are the Tadpoles of IC-410. They seem appropriate for the New Year when we are celebrating a fresh start or a new beginning. This emission nebula lies about 12000 light years away, and the Tadpoles are about 10 light years long. This is a stacked composite of 17 half hour h-alpha exposures taken through my 5 inch Astro-Physics Starfire refractor with a .75 focal reducer.
Thank you so much for sharing. This is really incredible.
