The Bubble and the Claw

Thanks to some recent data courtesy of Mr A. I have been able to combine that with some earlier data of my own and come up with something I'm very pleased with except for the stars. This Takahashi scope has a well deserved good reputation but I'm impressed by the detail from what is still only just over a 4 inch (106mm) optic. The image is a crop encompassing a few objects, notably the Bubble (ngc7635), Lobster Claw (Sh2-157) plus ngc7538, Sh2-159 and Lbn1231. 

The S2 data came solely from the data received from Mr A., just over 4 hours, but I was able to combine the Ha and O3 to give 8 and 7 1/2 hours respectively, pretty well 20 hours in total.

Thanks for viewing, hope you are keeping well and pleased with any data you receive.
