Tadpole Nebula zoomed in so you can truly see the tadpoles

For the last 2 nights I have been working in the Constellation Auriga. It's right on the horizon for me about 6:30pm and hasn't gotten out of site by the end of the night at 5:30am. Two nights ago I took a wider angle pic of Tadpole and Spider Nebula. Last night I decided to focus in on Tadpole because it really looks like two tadpoles in the Nebula. So for the last 3 nights I have gotten close to or in excess of 10 hours exposure time each night. Pretty exciting. Thank you clear skies!
