Nice clear nights may be few and far between in winter but thy do allow the gathering of good astro images. Last night I got nearly 4 hours of imaging on the Cat's Paw Nebula, NGC 6334. This nebula is about 5500 light years away and 70 light years across in the constellation Scorpio. It is at the tail of the scorpion. The red is emission from the massive amount of hydrogen in the area.
