Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Pismis 24-1 and NGC 6357

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Emission nebula NGC 6357 is near NGC 6334 in the Scorpius constellation, and next to it is the star Pismis 24-1 (brightest to the right).
Reason
An excellent image. No issues with this one, there are no blurry bands or lines, this is definitely the same quality of my recent galaxy picture that was featured, if not better. It may not be as full as that previous fp, but it features several stars that are shining beautifully and give off quite a gorgeous tone of light.
