IC 405 Flaming Star Nebula

IC 405 Flaming Star Nebula

Kind of off the radar target, I see very few examples of this nebula imaged with a dslr. It is a combination of a reflection, * the blue area * and emmision * the red area *, nebula. Pictured above, the Flaming Star Nebula, officially known as IC 405, lies about 1500 light years distant, spans about 5 light years, and is visible with a small telescope toward the constellation of Auriga.
