Bubble and Lobster

[Endolf]

Finally managed to get enough data on my baby scope to call it an image. This is about 8 hours of narrowband data around the SH2-157, there is quite a lot in of objects in here.

This is the first image from my SharpStar 61 EDPH MKII that I got a few weeks back, the first time I'm using astroberry (as opposed to my normal stellarmate), first time with an APO, first time using the ZWO EAF. The EAF needs more tuning, especially in the OIII it's not a reliable process yet, I often have to run it a couple of times to get it to play. My guiding wasn't playing nice last night (the second of the 2 nights gathering data), not sure if my PA was off or if there was some other reason for it.

I'm pretty pleased with the blue on the lobster, I think I could do a bit more on the bubble, but I need to be careful about going too far.

I think that's a well processed natural looking image, wonderful.
