M1 Crab Nebula

[kirkster501]

M1 from a combination of data from 2017 and 2018 (most 2017 because this season has been shocking in UK).

Anyway, with the moaning out of the way, here is M1 through my TEC 140 and Atik 460.  Cropped quite significantly.

5 hours Lum, 1hr35m Blue and Red/Green 75mins each.  All binned 1x1.

All processing done in PixInsight. Comments always welcome, good or bad.

I like that a lot, very natural, whatever natural means on Astro I age terms!

Thanks.  Yes, have to be careful not to overdo the processing or else the picture looks daft.

Thanks.  Yes, indeed, "subtle" is the name of the game when processing this object.  There is a lot of colour in The Crab but if you overdo the processing it looks all weird and unnatural.

Excellent image Steve. No comments from me - top notch!

You've done a marvelous job here. The longer I look the more I see.
