Description

You might have to use your imagination for this one. IC4628, also known as the Prawn Nebula, lies in amongst the nebula rich region of Scorpio.  It sits about 6000 light years from Earth and is approx. 250 light years across. 

Images were taken over two nights in May, however work schedule and an unfortunate bout of COVID has meant I've only been able to publish it now. 

Total imaging time for this project was 9.33hrs.

Registering and stacking done using Astro Pixel Processor.
Processed, combined and edited using PixInsight.
