Description

Sh2-157, located in Cassiopeia, is also known as the Lobster Claw Nebula. Captured from my Bortle 8-9 backyard with a 90% illuminated moon last night (Oct.24-25, 2023).
This is a beautiful HOO target so this is just the beginning of data capture on this object.
The weather looks poor tonight but promising tomorrow night so I'm hoping to be able to add another 6 hours of Ha data on this subject. Then, hopefully during our next new moon I can grab 10-12 hours of OIII on it as well.

Explore Scientific ED152CF APO, ZWO2600mmPro, Chroma 3nm Ha Filter, iOptron CEM70 Mount
Captured with NINA, Processed quickly with PixInsight. Stacked using WBPP, BlurX, NoiseX, STF to Histogram stretch, Dark Structure Enhance, export to JPEG.

36x 600sec = 6 hours.
