In terms of deep-sky nebulae in the night sky, the Lobster Claw Nebula is quite large. From my location, Cassiopeia and Cepheus reach high into the sky in the Fall, which makes October/November the best time to capture the Lobster Claw Nebula.ĭon’t bother trying to view this visually dim deep-sky object through the eyepiece of your telescope, this emission nebula is best enjoyed through long-exposure astrophotography. You can also “star hop” your way over to this nebula, starting from the bright star Caph in Cassiopeia. If your GoTo equatorial telescope mount does not allow you to choose a Sharpless Catalogue object, you should be able to find the Lobster Claw Nebula by traveling south from NGC 7635 (The Bubble Nebula). Although I have photographed the Bubble Nebula several times, it wasn’t until this year that I focused my attention on the neighboring Lobster Claw Nebula. It sits very close in the sky to another popular emission nebula for amateur astrophotography, the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635). ![]() As you’ll soon see in my long-exposure image, this bright HII region is surrounded by many more interesting deep-sky objects. It lies near the edge of the northern constellation Cassiopeia, bordering on Cepheus. The Lobster Claw Nebula (Sharpless 157) is a bright emission nebula.
