Cosmos IC 410

IC 410, more commonly known as the tadpole nebula, is an emission nebula located in the constellation Auriga. The nebulous system of IC 410 represents a classic example of a star-forming region of stars of great mass. At its center it has a sort of cavity in which the open cluster NGC 1893 is located, whose stars are responsible for the ionization of its gases. NGC 1893 is made up of numerous scattered young stars, obscured by some dense molecular clouds. Two shots were made on two different nights, Tuesday 22 February and Friday 25 February, at Valle degli Ulivi (Manduria).
