Cat's Paw Nebula

The Cats Paw Nebula is revisited in a combination of exposures from the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope and amateur astronomers Robert Gendler and Ryan M Hannahoe. 

The distinctive shape of the nebula is revealed in reddish puffy clouds of glowing gas against a dark sky dotted with stars.
