Sh2-157 The Lobster Claw Nebula

[SiriusDoggy]

It's been a while since I've posted anything around here so I thought I'd share my current project in progress. This will eventually be a full color image but for now I've only managed the last few nights to capture 22hrs and 10mins of Ha data on it.
I'm shooting 10min subs from my Bortle 8-9 backyard and as we all know, the last few days we've also had a very bright moon as well.

Explore Scientific ED152CF APO, 3" 0.7x reducer/flattener, ZWO2600mmPro, Chroma 3nm Ha filter, iOptron CEM70EC mount. 
Data captured with NINA 3.0 and processed with PixInsight. (Stacked in WBPP, BlurX, NoiseX, Histogram Transformation, StarX, Bill Blanshan's Star Reduction1, Dark Structure Enhance, Export as JPG.)

My plan is to capture at least 20 hours of OIII & SII data each and maybe 60-90minutes of RGB data for accurate star colors. This will be my longest data acquisition project when finished.

This target really comes to life in NB, with a distinct change in gasses, therefore colour, between body and pincers.

Very deep and clean. A just reward for your patience.
