Description

My first attempt at the Prawn nebula using the GSO RC8.  It turned out quite well, and my preference is just leave just a little bit of green in the mix, just to accentuate the different shades of blue - really just ionisation measured by [OIII] - across the nebula.  

There is a lot going on here, with the dark lanes, shock fronts and cometary globules all showing a wealth of features at 1600mm focal length.
