I just love this nebula. Looks so much like its namesake.

Testing out flatteners with my new toy - TMB92SS refractor. Captured this Cat's Paw Nebula NGC6334 the other night. 13x8min subs with 12nm Ha. Flattener for this shot was the Orion Flattener with 10mm more than the theoretical spacing according to the equipment's advertised backfocus etc. I think the field is pretty good.

Looks great to me, especially when you look at the original size in Flickr.
