astro mick Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Hi. Took this image of the crab over two nights,under a bright moon,but hey you have to make use of a clear sky moon and all. Anyway this was taken with my ED 80 and Atik 314L+. Its an LRGB/Ha image of two hrs per filter. The Lum and the Ha were blended to-gether to use as a full Luminance. Flats were essential as the dust bunnies on the Luminance were horrendous. Bias frames but not darks were also taken. Cheers. Mick. Edited December 10, 2019 by astro mick 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan potts Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 That come out very well Mick, it was one of the first things I tried with my 12 inch Sc and a Canon camera on the fork, doubtless to say it should not to mentioned in the breath as nice work like this. It also pretty much heads my list of most disappointing visual targets, even through fairly large scopes. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astro mick Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hi Alan thanks,and please don't undersell yourself,i have seen your images,and mighty fine they are too. Visually I would tend to agree,but would have thought a 12 inch scope would have given a great view!!!!!!! Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steppenwolf Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Considering the conditions of the capture, this has come out very well indeed - nice core to the SN remnant as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
