Brian Meyers took this magnificent shot of the Flaming Star Nebula in Auriga with his SVX90T. This emission/reflection nebula is located approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth and spans roughly 5 light-years across. Scientists believe that the motion of its central star (AE Aurigae) can be traced back to Orion's belt. This motion may have been the result of a collision between two binary star groups, ejecting this "runaway star" to where it now rests.

that might have been ejected during a collision of two binary star groups.

According to Brian: Last project with the SVX90 for a while...swapping back over to the 152 for Galaxy Season
