Description

An HOO wide field shot of the Lobster Claw, Bubble and surrounding area.  There's a lot going on in this area of the sky, with a Messier star cluster, plenty of Hydrogen gas structures, and even a couple PK planetary nebulae according to the plate solve.

HOO blend, with 90 second RGB stars overlaid. My RGB overlays are starting to look a bit better than the previous attempts which left blue halos around the stars.


19x 1200 second Ha
13x 1200 second OIII
25x each 90 seconds RGB for the stars
Reduced 50% from the original
