Description

This is my first attempt to register NGC 6357 -Lobster Nebula using Ha, Hb and OIII all in one combined filter with 200mm f/2 with 13 minutes exposition.  Distant approximately 5900 (+- 450) light years away from us in Scorpius constellation this active HII region is home of many proto-stars and young stars surrounded by expanding gases in form of “cocoons”.
