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.

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.

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!!!!!!!

Considering the conditions of the capture, this has come out very well indeed - nice core to the SN remnant as well.

Thanks Steve,yes the conditions could have been better,but in the UK grab anything.
