Description

IC 4628 also known as the Prawn Nebula (although I'm not 100% sure why), is an emission nebula located in the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way, around 6,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius. It forms part of the tail of the "False Comet" anchored by the bright open cluster NGC 6231. Used RGBL, Ha, Oiii and Sii filters, but this image only uses narrownband filters
