IC 405 (Flaming Star Nebula) from my own backyard, observatory

This is an object that I have photographed several times over the years.

In January 2017 I took some images of the emission and reflection nebula IC 405 with the emission nebula IC 410 with the embedded open star cluster NGC 1893 in the constellation Auriga from my own observatory.

Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:

The images were taken with the following equipment:

• Date: 2017
• Location: Krefeld, Germany
• Telescope: TS IS 65 Apo
• Focal length [mm]: 420
• Focal ratio: 6.5
• Mount: Skywatcher EQ8
• Camera: Moravian FW8300
• Filter: R:G:B:Hα
• Exposure time [min]: 84:84:105:180
• Resolution: 2.63″/px

One year ago, over the turn of the year 2015, 2016 I took some images of the emission and reflection nebula IC 405 from my backyard.

Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:

The images were taken with the following equipment:

• Date: 2015, 2016

My first attempt with IC 405 was 2011 from my backyard.

Data calibration and registration was done with DeepSkyStacker and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
