Description

IC4628 - The Prawn Nebula

An emission nebula in the constellation Scorpius.
Approx  6,000 light-years from Earth

I captured the HA @ OIII nebulosity with the L-eXtreme filter, and RGB stars with an L (UV/IR Cut filter) combined into a single image.
I think this HOO representation highlights the "Prawn" in this nebula quite nicely.
