Description

While this is normally designated as SH 2-261 or Lower's Nebula, to me it resembles a Giant Clam.

Description: This was an experiment using the Ha I collected as both the luminosity layer and the R layer so instead of L(RGB) it is Ha(HaGB). Using photometricColorCalibration in PixInsight, you can still recover the star colors doing this. I'm very pleased with how this turned out.
