Prawn Nebula in Scorpius (HA)

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Rich, use your imagination! I can see the prawn head, the eyes, and the tail!

haha...I think I can see the prawn but only if you disregard some portions of the nebula....so its still the Poodle Nebula to me. But I am surprised its so near one of my favourite objects in Scorpius, NGC6231. That cluster looks so clear in dark and cloudless Malaysia !
