Description

The Lobster at the tail of the Scorpion is an extremely fine structured beast, and has a striking similarity to its name patron. The tip of his right claw is glowing intensely, actually being one of the great star factories of the Milkyway.

LRGBHa with Farieds 8" f/4 Newtonian at Rooisand.

dont miss the starless Ha version, always impressive!
