Description

NGC6334, also known as the Cat’s Paw Nebula, Bear Claw Nebula or Gum 64, is an emission nebula and star-forming region approximately 4-5 light-years away, seen in the constellation of Scorpius.

Well, using the narrowband Hubble Space Telescope (HST) palette to process the image has led to a somewhat colourful, albeit messy, picture of the object.

The image was processed in PixInsight.
