M1 Crab Nebula

[Les Tilly]

This is the start of my image at the moment I only have it in Halpha but will add rgb later when I get a chance

Taken with Celestron C11 at 6.3 and a Canon 40D Modified and with Astronomik 13nm Ha Filter

Thanks for looking

Very very good image.

Pin point stars and an excellent filament structure.

Looks great.

Thats looking REALLY good - nice one - What other filters are you planning to use against it??

Cheers,

I saw this image on your website Les, together with a couple of others.

The crab is excellent, and I hope you get the colour data soon mate.

The only other Filter I will be using is a Light Pollution Filter and my Modified Canon 40D Camera I tried tonight but had power problems and at -13 celcius and Fingers Falling off I will leave it for another night

Very Nice Les

-13 Is great for Noise levels, but not so good god for exposed fleash and camera batteries...

How do you power the camera? If you dont already use one I would look for a battery eliminator eithe one that runs from the mains or from a 12V supply... in the UK Astronomiser make them...

Thanks Billy I use the canon AC/DC Adapter the issue was with the mount Battery I did not recharge after I used it the last few times its a 120amp 12 Volt Battery but if you don't recharge it might aswell be a AA will have to invest in Ac/dc Box for the mount

Ah well

I keep my 110 AH battery in the house and have it on an automatic charger thats meant for keeping boat batteries topped up... alwys full then when i need it... if it hasnt been used for a few weeks i take about 20% out of the battery using a 12v fan heater and then recharge it...

That's a cracking Crab Les. Excellent detail on the filaments, very similar to the pic in SPM's atlas of the universe! Be great with some colour!
