Lobster's Claw nebula from a year ago

[carastro]

Another reprocess. 

Was never happy with the original and it still looks disappointing to me, but having looked around other images none of them seem to have sharp detail, so I guess must just be one of those targets, but prefer this result to the first one I did. Actually only just noticed this was only 1 hour's data so am probably expecting too much.   Guiding was not great on this target I seem to recall for some unknown reason, but I vaguely recall it being high in the sky, and guiding was fine on my other target that night. 

Taken during a first quarter Moon a year ago. 
29-10-2017
Two nights data were taken but could only use one night due to poor quality of 2nd night for some reason.

So only:
Ha 4 x 600
OIII & Siii (Each) 4 x 150secs binned 
Total 1 hour

Pretty amazing for such a short imaging time.

Very nice shot for such a relatively short integration time.

Thank you Chris and Michael.  

I am glad I attempted to reprocessed it because previously it was one I quietly ignored as I thought it a failure.

I would love to have this kind of failure

I don't know why you're not happy with it.... It looks great....

Ditto!

Thanks every-one.  I guess I wasn't familiar enough with the target and was expecting something a bit sharper.
