Image Description and Details : After a few months off while i had planetary equipment on the mount. The RC is now back on the mount for some deep sky imaging again. Starting with the Bubble nebula or NGC 7635. 8000 light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. Captured from my Bortle 5 backgarden in west sussex over many nights. I also added the data i captured back in 2021, as it's a target i find fascinating and keep returning to.

IC410 - The Tadpoles
Image Description and Details :
The Tadpole nebula or IC 410 is an emission nebula in the constellation Auriga. It lies approximately 12,000 light years from earth.
I don't believe its name needs any explanation, it's one of the few I can see immediately, and I've always struggled with most. This nebula reminds me of a line in one of my favorite songs. "We're just 2 lost souls swimming in a fish bowl". Of course Pink Floyd isn't everyone's thing!
