NGC 6357 (Lobster) Nebula

Message #5077 of 5925 |

NGC 6357 nebula also known as "War and Peace" or "Lobster" taken from my
backyard under suburban light pollution, it's about 5500 light years away, total
of 17 hours. Captured using QHY9 CCD (mono KAF 8300 chip), WO FLT 110 f/7, all
20 min subs processed using Hubble palette Sii(6h)/Ha(5h)/Oiii(6h).
