M1 The Crab Nebula

[qcdougn]

I took this last Winter with the LX-90 and Canon XT. Most likely taken at f6.3, ISO 1600 and exposures approx. 40 sec. each. I don't remember how many....But, I'll grab more this year.

Pretty cool eh?

You were a busy boy with that scope/camera set up last winter!

Thanks Anthony....

Winter was very good for me this past year....Normally, you have to store the scope and camera from mid-October to mid-May due to cloudy, gloomy weather here in the N/W USA . But, last Winter we got some pretty good nights ....They were very nippy. But, I caught a few DSO that I had expected to miss.

I have tried this one with a dedicated CCD and didn't get the detail you have through an SLR!

Another very impressive image Doug.

Can I suggest you have a go at the Messier chart thing in your Sig.? It would be quite impressive!

Thanks to all for the nice comments...Looks like I've just about scrounged all of the hidden images on my HD from last year..

Maybe there's one more somewheres... Daz, go get that Crab this Winter....Give it plenty of time..it's a faint [removed word]... Captain Chaos....I may give the Messier idea a go one of these days... I skipped a lot of the M Objects such as the clusters...since many of them look alike to me.. I found some of the NGC items very interesting too... So many target, so little time and $$$$.
