IC 4628 Prawn Nebula

A large stellar nursery in the constellation of Scorpius some 6,000 light years away from us.

The nebula is very faint, making it difficult to observe, despite it's size of around 250 light years.

 

The image consists of 19 data sets of 5 minute LRGB each.

Data was captured online using the Chile 2 telescope at Slooh.com
