First time posting over here.

IC405, IC410 & IC417

With snowstorms and the holidays, I haven't gotten much imaging in lately. So when it looked to be clear last night, I didn't mind the 0F temperatures, 20 mph winds and horrid seeing last night.

Hi Dean,

That's really a beautiful image,what a FOV!
My last couple of images have been close ups of the Tadpoles and IC 417,your image puts this area in perspective nicely.

I hear ya on the seeing,I am about 60 or so miles South of you,it has been terrible for awhile now.Seems the jetstream has made itself at home over us :C

That's a super shot Dean. I love the wide-field bringing all those objects together.

Yup, cold and snow. I keep shoveling out the area around my pier only to have it get filled in again the next day!

Got out last night in the cold and got my first shots in a couple months.

Wow, never saw such a field on this object before. 8O

Nice to see a different perspective for a change.
