Description

NGC 6357, aka Lobster Nebula, aka War and Peace Nebula, actually looks like a man with someone on his back to me. This image was captured with an ASI1600MM-C camera, through a Skywatcher MN190 Mak-Newt, on a CGX mount. Image consists of 15x300s Ha, 12x300s Oiii, and 12x300s Sii subs, total integration time of 3hrs and 15 minutes. Processed in DSS, and Photoshop CC. Colour scheme is SHO of course. Some may find this rendition somewhat lurid. It has large amounts of Ha, and almost no Oiii except for the central pocket, surprisingly there is Sii spread througout the Ha areas but not is great amount. I may return to this object when I have acquired more data.
