Tadpole Nebula IC410 in Ha

[nightcasper]

Taken on 02.02.2014 7 x 900 secs Ha subs bias, flats,Cosmetic
Correction. Stacked and processed in pixinsight was trying to make it look sharper but give up in the end and settled for this one for my final processed image. The weather was not the best on the night due to cloud and misty conditions but was lucky to get some clear skies so I made the most of it.

That's a decent IC410 for UK skies given current atrocious weather! The tadpoles are nice & sharp - well done.
