NGC 6357 Emission Nebula in Scorpius

A lineup of four 7th magnitude stars point to the heart of this faint emission nebula.

We found the nebula emits very strong HA colour as we had only red nebula in our subs taken with our unmodded 40D.

I love the foreground stars and have tried to get a feeling of 'shining' stars in our image. Hope you like it.
