M1 Crab nebula

[Tim]

I think it was SteveL who first encouraged me to have a shot at this one, I didn't previously know about it. The first attempt with the little Wo72 just left a little smudge in the centre, so this shot was at f10 with the C9.25, a combination which I am a long way from mastering. Still, I was pleased to get a bit of detail in the crab.

Again this one was taken at kelling, but I cant remember which night, friday or saturday. 350D on C9.25 at prime focus, and fairly heavy handed editing to get the blobby stars down a bit!

Cheers

Jeez TJ. Don't get too modest mate, that's an incredibly proficient Crab. Detailed. and well framed, colourful, and an all round splendid outcome.

Kelling has been a turning point in your imaging career I reckon.

[Tim]

Thanks Ron. It is certainly a lot easier when half of your data isnt a big red smudge!

Wonderful M1 Tim. The colour and detail are excellent. Stars are always going to be bloated at this F/L without active optics but you have handled them very well.

Hey TJ

That sounds familiar, ending up with a smudge in the centre of image when imaging M1.......

You`ve got over that hurdle and produced yet another great image, nice detail and colour in there, great job again.......

The OTA is being removed from the ETX tonight to be used as a guidescope on the 8" for my attempt at this one...

That sir, is top drawer. That's not a 'bit' of detail, that's quite a lot!
