Flying Spaghetti Monster Nebula
NGC 6357
Also known as the War and Peace Nebula. I personally think it looks like the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or a crab. LOL
2hrs and 40min of exposure time on this one.
Canon CDS1100D
Takahashi FS78 with focal reducer.

Thought I'd do an update as I'm up to 6hrs and 40min now.

It's like a galactic traffic sign.

I like the flying spaghetti monster tag - that's what it looks like to me.
