Description

NGC6357, also known as the 'Crab Nebula' [correction ‘Lobster’] (it does actually look like a crab) is a diffuse nebula in the constellation of Sagittarius. This image is from the Ha data captured as part of a narrowband set of Ha, OIII and SII. The Ha image makes for a wonderful display so I have published it separately here.
