Description

Having imaged the Prawn Nebula a few times over the past two years, I have found it to be a good test of my current(or lack thereof)  ability in DSO astrophotography.  

Over the past three nights, I have given the Prawn a good grilling with my Hypergraph 8.   I much happier with this latest result, but no doubt I will be even happier when I redo it again next year.  Astrophotography,, the hobby that keeps giving.  

48 x 600secs Ha
24 x 600secs [OIIII]
24 x 600secs [SII]

I am also starting to see the nebula less of a Prawn and more as The Curse of the Mummy, with a head and shoulders of the Mummy rising out of the gas where the Prawn head/eyes were.  I think I need to get out more....
