IC 4628 - Prawn Nebula
IC 4628: The Prawn Nebula in Scorpio.
The Bundle Dataset is pretty amazing and a lot of details are visibile even when magnified at 200%. I tried to enhance the contrast by working on two different color combinations and merging them in Photoshop (I still can't achieve the same result in Pixinsight).
I am a huge fan of showing the fine nebulosity, especially when the data is so rich of details.
Hope you enjoy this image!
