Description

It seems like all the clear nights lately coincide with a nearly full moon. So I figured I'd try shooting narrowband in the northern sky since the moon was fairly low to the south. The Lobster Claw Nebula (Sharpless 157) seemed like a worthy target. I was able to shoot about 24 hours total on this target over three nights from my backyard in the mountains of Colorado at 8400 feet elevation. Bortle 4 skies.
