Description

SH2-157, also know as the Lobster Claw Nebula, is a bright emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies just south of the better-known Bubble Nebula NGC 7635.

To me it looks more like a tulip, more so than the actual Tulip Nebula.  Or perhaps a blue flame given the color pallet and orientation that I chose.  Either way I am happy with how this one turned out.

The image was captured during a run of awesome nights at SRO.  It has since been cloudy almost every night.  I hope that changes soon!
