This is the Lobster Nebula. I added 4 hours of RGB stars onto my 12 hours of Duo band HA Oiii.

I took this through an ED72, with an ASI 533 MC Pro, on a Star Adventurer Pro2. Processed in Pixinsight.

Its 169 x 240sec guided + 60 x 240 sec RGB guided.

Hope you like

Great image of the Lobster, love the wider field showing more of the nebulous body. Time well spent.

Hi Jeff. thanks. Yes to be honest when I look at this finished image I see a horse with its head top right looking down and its legs below with its main flowing to the left. That's a wide field invoked delusion right there! LOL
