IC 410 Tadpole nebula

 


                                               IC 410   Tadpole nebula

 

 This image is IC 410, the Tadpole nebula.  The image was obtained using Narrowband filters with approximately 19 hours of data collection in a relatively light polluted region of northern Virginia.  The narrowband filters (Ha, OIII, SII) are effective in removing the light pollution.

Comet 2019 - Y4 (Atlas)




 This short video was a test on how to obtain images of a moving comet.  188 images were incorporated into the video using a lum filter.  The comet disintegrated before a full color video could be obtained.  The technique to capture a moving comet has been established and I wait for the next comet to be imaged.
