The Prawn Nebula is an emission nebula located in the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way. It has an apparent magnitude of 7.31 and is around 6,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius, the region is about 250 light-years across, spanning over 3-4 full moons in the sky.

The nebula was discovered around 1900 and it is a stellar nursery that contains a large number of very hot, luminous, young stars, formed out of the surrounding gas.

I also made other versions by switching the colour around, let me know what you think, I don't see many people doing it.

Nice work! - I love the spooky colour of the OSH one - makes the ghost ship look even scarier

I like the colours in #4 best.

The more traditional SHO (4?) looks great but I really like the OSH. Want to put a G in front of it!

+1 for #4

Thanks for the comments

I also do like the OSH combination, makes it look really cool.

The 72ED is great for NB but for LRGB - L and B makes the stars bloat.
