A little crab with a little newt!

Hi guys,
Well at last another clearish night..
They have been real rare up this way lately...so much cloud and rain and drizzle! I think we have had the worst weather the last 2 months that I have remembered in the last few years. I feel sorry for you guys further north as luckily we didn`t get any flooding (just)!

Well here is my go at Messier 1 the Crab nebulae. Inspired by Erics post..
I would have liked some more exposures but the fog rolled in at 1am ending the session!
Image is 9 x 7 min at iso 400..
Stacked in DSS and then finished off in PS.
Overall happy with the results and the autoguiding with PHD although some frames the stars were slightly oval?
Don`t think I could get any more detail from this with my FL and a DSLR.
All comments most welcome..
cheers Gary
