Cathie LeBlanc#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #FlamingStarNebula is an emission and reflection nebula that is illuminated by #AEAurigae, the bright white star in the center of this image. The #TadpoleNebula, in the bottom left, is an emission nebula 12,000 light years away. #16Aurigae is the yellow star system in the bottom middle. I took twelve 5-minute exposures of this subject the other night before it disappeared behind my building. I will work on better framing. #StillLearning
