Description: A tour through the autumnal constellation Auriga, starting at the star cluster M38 then south to another cluster NGC1907 then further south to the nebulosity surrounding Phi Auriga. Now moving south east we come to the star cluster NGC1983 and it's associated nebula. Moving east and north we arrive at the diffuse nebula IC405, the Flaming Star Nebula.

Tech: Each image a 40 minute integration, except the area around M38 a 22 minute integration. Taken with a Tamron 300mm F2.8 telephoto lens, Starlight Express MX916 CCD, and Astronomik Ha filter.
