Deep Sky Imaging Session - February 17, 2026

Happy Chinese New Year! The sky this evening is clear so I use this opportunity to image IC405 Flaming Star Nebula together with IC410 Tadpole Nebula in the constellation of Auriga together in one frame using ZWO ASI294MC PRO Camera on Borg 76ED Refractor with 0.8x Reducer and SVBony SV220 7nm Duo Filter. Total Exposure of 122 minutes (120 sec x 61) at -5 deg C. I also use my Dwarf 3 Smart Scope to image IC443 Jellyfish Nebula in the constellation of Gemini using Astro Mode with Duo Filter at EQ Mode. Total Exposure of 121 minutes (30 sec x 242) at Gain 60.
