Description

This image was captured in a three days campaign, during 2013 September, in Santana de Parnaíba, a little city near Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I have my observatory - Observatório da Serra.

The Prawn Nebula (also known as IC 4628) is a emission nebula situated in the constellation of Scorpius.

This was captured for me using Baader HA, OIII and SII filters and processed using the CCDStack and PS, with great advice from my friend Nando Pinheiro.
