Frosty Ha Crab

[drjolo]

Some nights ago clouds were gone and I quickly opened my astroshed. It was pretty cold, transparency was poor, but seeing seemed to be pretty decent, so I pointed telescope to M1 and collected 150 minutes of Crab nebula in Ha band. It is not too much, so noise is still visible, but some detail was revealed. Now need to wait to complete this image with some color...

It is 30x5 minutes of Ha made with Meade ACF 10" telescope and QHY163M camera on EQ6 mount.

That's a really good start. There's lots of detail on view. More data and some colour and I reckon this will look fabulous.

Very nice image of an iconic object.
