M1 The Crab Nebula

I'm way out of my league with this one, but this is a PB for me on this object so I'm fairly happy with it.

M1 the crab nebula. This is an interesting object that started from a daylight supernova in 1054AD.

From Wiki "The Crab Nebula (catalogue designations M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant in the constellation of Taurus... The nebula was the first astronomical object identified with a historical supernova explosion."

GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, full spectrum modified Canon 1100D, 169 x 30 seconds, HEQ5 pro unguided.
