Description

Prawn Nebula, also known as IC 4628, is an emission nebula located in the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way, around 6,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius.

Another favourite object for Narrow Band but using a RedCat 71, ZWO ASI 2600 Mono and Antlia 3nm NB FIlters on a ZWO AM5 mount.

My new wide field setup is proving a delight and I look forward to getting more data on this one.
