C31 / IC 405 / Sh2-229 The Flaming Star Nebula - telescope processed image. It’s a rare mix of a red emission nebula (ionized gas) and a blue reflection nebula (starlight bouncing off cosmic dust).
C31 / IC 405 / Sh2-229 The Flaming Star Nebula - unprocessed image. The central star, AE Aurigae, wasn't born here; it’s a high-speed "runaway" likely ejected from Orion millions of years ago.
Decided to do just 3 images last night on each telescope. Here is the s50’s new observation of #C31 / #IC405 / #Sh2229 #TheFlamingStarNebula. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
