first quarter moon

problems with guiding in DEC caused me to abandon the imaging run, was hoping to collect 4 hours or more of data

CG5 now needs some TLC there is just unacceptable backlash

From Lobster Nebula to Dragons of Ara, these nebulae lie from the center to the south side of the milkyway arm, they are beautiful emission nebulas that I plan to photograph each one individually in the future.

The Prawn Nebula (IC 4628) in SHO is in Scorpius and is a part of the Sagittarius Arm of our Milky Galaxy.

Prawn to be Wild

Meet IC 4628, better known as the Prawn Nebula — 6,000 light years away in Scorpius and still looking fresher than anything in the seafood aisle. This cosmic crustacean is a massive emission nebula, glowing thanks to high-energy radiation from nearby hot, young stars.

This image was captured with my Sky-Watcher Quattro 150P and ZWO ASI533MM Pro, using Antlia 3nm SHO filters to bring out those spicy sulphur reds, hydrogen golds, and oxygen blues. Think of it as space’s answer to fine dining plating — minus the lemon wedge.

📍 Captured from my backyard under Bortle 5 skies, north of Brisbane, over several nights in June 2025.

Processed in PixInsight, where all the prawny goodness comes to life.

Conhecida como Nebulosa do Camarão, IC4628 é uma região de emissão localizada na constelação de escorpião. Tem aproximadamente 250 anos-luz de diâmetro. Apesar de ser bem brilhante, muitas vezes ela passa despercebida nas observações. Com certeza a revisitarei com mais tempo de exposição e também com uma distância focal maior para pegar mais detalhes.

Known as the Prawn Nebula, IC 4628 is an emission region located in the constellation Scorpius. It spans approximately 250 light-years in diameter. Despite being quite bright, it often goes unnoticed in observations. I will definitely revisit it with longer exposure times and a larger focal length to capture more details.
