Very interesting nebula, how did you find this one?
I notice you have diffraction spikes, what did you use to put them in?

Cheers,

Justin, I found this nebula by pure accident. I was looking for the dark tower in Scorpius and found this close by. I did one sub in Ha and decided to stick with this one.

It appears like I have diffraction spikes but I think this is a product of my imaging system. I noticed some time ago that Martin Pughs wide field images had a similar look so I guess this might have something to do with the Takahashi scopes. Or there is something with the sensor I am using. In any event it is not deliberate on my behalf.
