NGC 1931 The Fly Nebula / IC 417 The Spider Nebula / Phi Aurigae - telescope processed image. The Fly Nebula (NGC 1931): This compact "mini-Orion" contains a central cluster of young stars that powers both a glowing emission nebula and a blue reflection nebula.

NGC 1931 The Fly Nebula / IC 417 The Spider Nebula / Phi Aurigae - unprocessed image. The Spider Nebula (IC 417): Located 10,000 light-years away, this massive star-forming region features "pillars of creation" sculpted by the radiation of hot, newborn stars.

Good Friday morning. Had the s50 and Dwarf Mini out again. Let’s start with an observation of #NGC1931 #TheFlyNebula / #IC417 #TheSpiderNebula / #PhiAurigae #Star. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

IC 417 The Spider Nebula - telescope processed image. Located 10,000 light-years away in Auriga, this nebula is a massive star-forming region where hot, blue newborn stars shape the gas.

IC 417 The Spider Nebula - unprocessed image. Often paired with the "Fly" nebula, its "legs" are actually streams of dust and gas carved out by intense radiation from internal star clusters.

Here is an observation of #IC417 #TheSpiderNebula. To the left you can see #Sharpless237. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur

Phi Aurigae / IC 417 The Spider Nebula / Sh2-237 The Fly Nebula / NGC 1931 - telescope processed image with LP filter. Phi Aurigae: This orange giant is roughly 30 times larger than our Sun and sits approximately 450 light-years away in the Auriga constellation.

Phi Aurigae / IC 417 The Spider Nebula / Sh2-237 The Fly Nebula / NGC 1931 - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light filter. IC 417 (The Spider): This active star-forming region contains a young cluster of stars nestled within glowing hydrogen gas and sculpted dust clouds.

Phi Aurigae / IC 417 The Spider Nebula / Sh2-237 The Fly Nebula / NGC 1931 - unprocessed image with LP filter. Sh2-237 (The Fly): Often paired with the Spider, this smaller nebula is an HII region where intense radiation from young stars ionizes surrounding gas.

Phi Aurigae / IC 417 The Spider Nebula / Sh2-237 The Fly Nebula / NGC 1931 - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light filter. NGC 1931: Known as a "miniature Orion Nebula," it is a hybrid of an emission and reflection nebula containing a tight cluster of newborn stars.

Good Wednesday morning. Took a while but have some comparison pictures. This onboard Light Pollution filter vs Moon and Sky Light filter. First comparison is #PhiAurigae / #IC417 #TheSpiderNebula / #Sh2-237 #TheFlyNebula / #NGC1931. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

Phi Aurigae / IC 417 The Spider Nebula / Sh2-237 The Fly Nebula / NGC 1931 - telescope processed image. Phi Aurigae is a bright orange giant star, while IC 417 (the Spider Nebula) is a nearby star-forming region where young stars' radiation carves out glowing gas clouds.

Phi Aurigae / IC 417 The Spider Nebula / Sh2-237 The Fly Nebula / NGC 1931 - unprocessed image. Sh2-237 (The Fly Nebula) Also known as NGC 1931, this "miniature Orion Nebula" is a tight cluster of young stars encased in a glowing mix of both emission and reflection nebulosity.

Good Friday morning. Sharing results from last nights observations. Starting out with following from top to bottom - #PhiAurigae #star / #IC417 #TheSpiderNebula / #Sh2-237 #TheFlyNebula / #NGC1931 #clustet. Image taken with Moon and Sky Light Filter. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

IC 417 The Spider Nebula - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. IC 417 is the "Spider Nebula," a distant \mathbf{H\\ II\\ region} (stellar nursery) in Auriga. It's an emission nebula where a cluster of hot, young stars is causing the gas to glow red.

IC 417 The Spider Nebula - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. It is often imaged together with the nearby NGC 1931 (the "Fly Nebula"), forming a celestial pair known as the Spider and the Fly.

Fog came in this morning, so this is the last image for now. Here is an observation of #IC417 #TheSpiderNebula. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

IC 417 The Spider Nebula - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter and LP Filter. The Spider Nebula (IC 417) is a large, luminous emission nebula and stellar nursery in Auriga, energized by hot, massive blue stars that trigger new star formation.

IC 417 The Spider Nebula - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter and LP Filter. IC 417 is half of a cosmic duo called the "Spider and the Fly"! It pairs with the nearby, smaller nebula NGC 1931, which acts as the 'fly.’

The clouds came in yesterday morning, way earlier than the weather app on the phone predicted. So did not get the expected exposure time on this view of #IC417 #TheSpiderNebula. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

IC 417 The Spider Nebula - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. An emission nebula in Auriga, roughly 10,000 light-years away. Nicknamed "The Spider" for its radiating, multi-legged appearance, it's an active stellar nursery lit by hot, young stars.

IC 417 The Spider Nebula - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. It’s part of a famous pair called "The Spider and The Fly”. IC 417 is the Spider, and its tiny neighbor, NGC 1931, is The Fly.
