" The constellation Auriga, as day becomes night in spring, is low in our western sky. We captured an hour of 30 second sub exposures, from which the above image was constructed, before the constellation dropped below our horizon. The little Seestar S30 does well on bright targets that have a large 'footprint' on the night sky. 

The nebula is a region of ionised hydrogen gas spanning over 100 light years across that's modelled by streams of charged particles in stellar winds coming from the open star cluster NGC 1893. IC 410 is some 12,000 light years distant from Earth". - Kurt Thrust current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
