The Flame Nebula and the Tadpoles Nebula by Logan Carpenter
Originally intended as two separate projects, Logan discovered that both the magnificent Flaming Star Nebula (IC 4405) and the enchanting Tadpoles Nebula (IC 410) could be framed together through the StellaMira telescope.
This cosmic union presents an illusion of merging nebulae, though in reality, these two vibrant celestial bodies are an impressive 11,000 light years apart!
This image not only unites the Northern Hemisphere's night sky in your home but also tells a story of cosmic connection amidst vast distances.

After 20 years of peering down a microscope as a Surgical Pathologist, Logan turned his gaze skyward, discovering a passion for astrophotography in 2019. He images the amazing Deep Sky objects of the Southern Hemisphere from his roll-off-roof observatory at home in New Zealand. More recently he has also been imaging with a rig in southern Spain to expand his reach into the Northern Hemisphere.
Logan collaborates with two international groups of amateur astrophotographers; one deticated to the searching for yet undiscovered nebulae; and the other group carrying out projects consisting of hundreds of hours of integration time to reveal hidden or rarely imaged features of known targets.
