NGC6357 Lobster Nebula in Ha

Never really understood why it is called the Lobster Nebula, I think it looks more like a crab than the Crab Nebula (M1)

I have some RGB data to add to this, but it's my first attempt at a Ha and RGB blend and keep totally butchering the processing. Been sick with the flu and need my head on straight to attempt that. Next week or so I think.
