IC 4628 "Prawn Nebula"
IC 4628 ... The Prawn Nebula an emission nebula located in the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way.
This is my first attempt at imaging remotely and also my first attempt at narrow band imaging!
It is great to be able to image an object which is never visible for me here in the UK.
The imaging process has taken almost 3 weeks to complete due to a bad run of weather ... my first request was booked in late June and only completed on 18th July.
