NGC 6357 The Lobster Nebula

[batema]

Hi,

I'm off to Astrofest today so I thought I would have one final check of equipment.

Taken with Williams Optics Flt 110 and Qhy-9 at -20c. Guided with PHD and stacked usind DSS then aligning in Photoshop and processing.

9 x 10 Min Luminence at 1x1 bining, then 10 x 4 Min 2x2 bining RGB. Will try to get some Ha data tomorrow night.

Any advice welcome.

Looking good, be interesting to see if ha data has any more effect, you seem to have heaps already.

Great colours and details. Not sure but it doesn't look like you used flats. That would increase your contrast 10 folds. Top shot though. :thumbsup:
