SH2 157 - QUICK SHOT OF LOBSTER CLAW NEBULA

Although light pollution, the balcony is undoubtedly the best place to do tests and tests.
This time, however, the simple test turned into a full-fledged photo session, as well as a challenge given the city lights.

11050 light-years away from Earth, Sh2-157 (known as the Lobster Claw Nebula) is a faint emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia.
Although the region has a considerable extent, it is impossible to observe it directly from a telescope or binoculars due to its low brightness. The northern part of the cloud is interesting: the presence of stellar wind caused by giant-type stars causes it to resemble the claws of a lobster, furthermore in that section the ionized oxygen gas (blue gas) is equally abundant.
The lack of integration and the bad city sky obviously force a strong denoise in post production. I hope to be able to do it next year under dark skies.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
