Just a quick crab

[Dave Smith]

Last night was clear but rather hazy and my original target (Leo trio) was in a bright part of the sky so I turned to the Crab Nebula M1. After just an hour the haze thickened until even the bright stars were almost invisible. So this is just 60 minutes in 5 minute subs plus darks and flats with a Canon 40D through my FL102S. I intend to come back to this but probably with my 9.25 SCT.

I'm quite pleased with this as a first go.

You should be, it's a great shot and in only 1 hour.

Thanks Guys. I was somewhat surprised that there was any detail - on my APT screen all I could see was a faint and tiny smudge.

Really nice image Dave! Love the detail that's coming through I bet you're chuffed to bits!

Lovely Ha filaments. This is a target crying out for the 9.25 though
