M1, The Crab Nebula (NGC 1952)

[siovene]

Wow, that's amazing! Before reading what the equipment was, I could've sworn it was a 17" RC

Excellent job!

[Keiran]

Very nice job rob, great detail and colours are amazing. That is amazing resolution you get with that scope. Really impressive

[barkis]

You're something else Mr H. You turn out these images, and exceed all the previous Wows!. I know the 11" Edge has a big say, but there's a whole lot of work involved working the data to produce superb results like this. Just incredible.

I can't wait for the RC results .

Hi Rob,

Great image as usual, I'm having a go at this one soon myself with the Mewlon, just wondering if you binned the ccd with this focal length? All my calcs seen to indicate that binning is the way to go? What do you recommend?

[RobH]

Hi Neil....no, binning the 16HR would have defuinately cost me resolution I think....however, when my H18 comes back from another bout of being fixed by SX, if it actually works properly, with the smaller pixels it's my intention to use it 2x2 binned...this will give me 10.8 micron pixels, which should be just right.

stunning and just awesome!

WOW..............

Doesnt get any better than this:headbang:

[psemil]

Rob you are a magician . Very good and inspiring picture.

[Sam]

That's an absolutely cracking image, the detail in the structure is quite incredible.

[prokyon]

Wow, what a stunner! So many details and the colours are great too. I would say this is an ultimate M1.

Total imaging time. 7 hrs 42 minutes.

Rob

Geezz, I have to wonder how many asteroids drifted through your field of view during all of those exposures. Have you considered blinking any of those images?

That is a remarkable shot of M-1. Congrats !!!

Thanks again folks

Loren....I have thousands of subs that probably have asteroids in them....7 or 8 hours of imaging time on a subject is pretty short for me, I have several targets that I've done over 24 hours on!

Cheers

Rob
