The Cat's Paw Nebula-NGC 6334
Located in the constellation Scorpius lies NGC 6334, also known as The Cat's Paw Nebula, The Bear Claw Nebula, and also Gum 64. It's a star-forming region and emission nebula, lying 5,500 light-years from Earth with a diameter of around 40 light-years.
I was amazed how much detail came out with just 3 each LRGB @600s.....very good data.
Hope ya like it!
