Description

NGC6357 - Known as the Lobster, War and peace nebula and also a part of a petition to change its name to that of a local deity by the people of the Philippines. The complex is around 8000 light years away in the constellation of Scorpius

This image is a combination of Ha and RGB data, imaged during July. Calibrated with darks, flats, bias etc and this version is using colour profile srgb (I am struggling understanding differences in profiles so either this one of the 1998 will make the cut)
