M1- Crab Nebula

[gonzostar]

hello 

This is my version of M1 the crab nebula from late last year.  The data has being collected over past 2months and is  cropped.  A very frustrating time trying to beat the weather but hay ho

Telescope - 102mm APO ES refractor on a AVX mount

Camera- Canon 70d unmoded iso800 with a IDAS-D2 filter.  

Duration 5hours - 300s lights., Darks, flats and bias frames also taken

Guided with PHD2 and processed in PS

Cheers thanks for looking. Of course any improvements welcome

Nice image on a small target with a small scope.   Can't tell its cropped--that means you processed good data well!

Thanks Rodd 

Now going for m42 and all its multiple subs. Should be a larger image !    😀

A very nice shot there, a difficult subject I am sure, and really needs a bigger scope I feel. It has to be about the most disappointing object I have looked at in the sky, even with my 18 inch Dob.

I could have tried  it on the C8. However my guiding errors  would come into play 😁 I remember when I first found it in 1992 with my oold binoculars in peak district. Was amazed then but a challenge now in this light pollution on south coast 😡
