Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405; SH 2-229): An emission and reflection nebula 1500 light years from the sun surrounds AE Aurigae, a O-type main sequence star that is moving rapidly through the nebula.

IC 410 (The Tadpoles Nebula; SH 2-236 is an HII region 100 light years in diameter and 12,000 light years distant that contains a star cluster (NGC 1893) and "tadpoles" best seen in the largest image where stars are forming.

IC 417 is the Spider Nebula (SH 2-234) is an HII region 2707 light years distant.

NGC 1907 and M38 (Starfish Cluster) are open star clusters 4500 and 3480 light years, respectively from the Sun.

LBN 794 and LBN791 are wide ranging HII regions (hydrogen-rich molecular clouds). LBN791 appears to form a tail to the Flaming star nebula. They are most likely separate structures superimposed in the field.

16 Aurigae is a triple star system. The brightest star in the system is a K2.25IIIb main sequence star, 232 light years from the Sun that is 1.3 times the mass of the sun, and 112 times more luminous. It is estimated to be 5 billion years old.
