Crab Neb and a dark cloud in the Hyades

2 nights ago got just 15 mins on the Crab Nebula M1 before cloud came in.
3x5 mins ISO 400. LPS filter, MPCC , 6 inch f3.6 Sn. Modded 350d. First quarter moon in sky. 2nd pic is a full resolution crop. Taken on a warm night

Last night did 70 mins on a little known dark nebula area in the Hyades. Id recently seen Theodog's (Jeff's) 12 inch shot of part of it. The lack of stars shows where the nebula is, there is also the part Jeff imaged, a small HA area only just visible inside the dark area upper left. Terrible conditions for imaging, brighter then first quarter moon and a warm night. Im lucky I got anything, but I was keen for imaging There is a screenshot from Star Atlas pro of the area.
