NGC6357 Lobster Nebula

Hi,

I have posted another for your critique. As you can see, I am still stuck in the ocean - this time with the Lobster Nebula.

I have tried to give this image a new twist by enhancing the nebula as much as possible to make it look like a Lobster..... This nebula is often seen as a fairly homogeneous red blob, but I have tried to show the creature with a rough variegated shell like a lobster has, so I have applied bit more hi pass and sharpening to the Ha layer than I would perhaps normally attempt...perhaps this has failed and is too heavy handed, but at least I can really see the lobster now....!

I think I have found out how to display higher resolution this time....

Many thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Tim
