Messier 1

Hello, 

Messier 1(Crab nebula) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind in the constellation of Taurus apparent mag :8.4

The now-current name is due to William Parsons 3rd Earl of Rosse, who observed the object in 1840 using a 36-inch telescope and produced a drawing the cooked somewhat like a Crab. (Wikipedia)

A lovely life-like sketch of the crab. It gives a perfect impression of the eyepiece view. Thanks for posting!
