Explanation:

IC 410 sometimes is called the "Tadpole Nebula" . The "Tadpoles" are located at the 11-12 o'clock position and
are approx. 10 lightyears long. These are two relatively dense streamers of material, trailing away from the
nebulae's central regions.

The colors are mapped to real colors:

light red = H-alpha
OIII = blue
dark red= SII
