with 10" f/3.9 Astrograph

Riding high in the constellation
            of Auriga on February nights we find this beautiful object. Known
            primarily as IC410, it also includes the open cluster NGC1893
            in the center, and the dim nebulosity surrounding IC410 here
            is Sh2-236. The dark dust globules in the core are full of fine
            detail making this a perfect object for the 990mm focal length
            of our Newtonian astrograph.
