A couple of crabs.

[rat156]

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!

Larger versions available here

Cheers
Stuart

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!

That's very nice. I like the synthetic green version. Very good details in there.

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

Really nice Stuart I, too, like the synthetic version.

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

Really nice. Both of them. Hats off to you persistence in capturing it over multiple nights. Great detail. Well done.

[telecasterguru (Frank)]

Very good capture.

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 like the HST version the best personally.

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.
