War and Peace - NGC6537
6x20 minutes subs in Ha with my BabyQ and reducer; so this is at a FL of about 330mm and shot with an ATIK 4000.

The nebula is said to be so-named because there is a dove in one half and a skull in the other. I can't see either.

Hope this has some appeal.

Peter

Nice work, Peter. I think I can make out a dove and a skull, but its stretching my imagination.

Very cool shot. Very deep. Where's the dove & skull? Can you see them? Always wondered why it was called war & peace.

I see a crab more so than a lobster. But I'm crabby at the moment.
Lovely image.

I'm with Mike, nice and contrasty, good detail, and nice FOV. I think you need an IR image to help see the Dove and Skull.
