Hi All,

I have a very limited window to catch the Crab, I get about an hour and a half each night to take piccies before it slips behind the roof of the observatory. This has taken several nights to collect enough data.

There are two representations, one with a synthetic green channel froma mix of the Ha and OIII data, the other is in HST palette (SII:Ha:OIII for R:G:B).

Hope you all like them!

Beautiful Stuart, you must be happy with them.
Which scope - the GSO 8" or the Meade 10" ACF ?

Hi Jeff,

This was taken with the 8" RC.

It's only 3 hours of data. One hour of each Ha SII and OIII. Gotta love the ST-10's QE!

Cheers

Very nice Stuart. The NB really lifts the otherwise grey centre of this target and shows all the detail.

Nice stars and focus. Well done.

I think I like the red version Stuart. Loads of detail but some slight noise present. I cannot get this from my observatory because the roll off roof does not roll back far enough, so I just have to admire the efforts of others.

+1 for me too!
Just love the detail NB has brought out in this one.

Thanks for showing!
