M1 - Crab Nebula in Taurus

Wow

:shock:

Anthony - where did the rogue asteroid go?

That is a SPLENDID image of the Crab, just so so good.

Anthony - where did the rogue asteroid go?

Dave,

It is still there (you must press on the hyperlinked image to bring up the larger version which measures 1200x900). The initial image (600x600) is cropped with the nebula dead center and which excludes the asteroid.

That is a SPLENDID image of the Crab, just so so good.

Hi Deirdre,

I am delighted that you like the newer version. Astrophotography is certainly addictive ... please be careful!

Hi Anthony,

Great shot. Nice level of detail in the nebula itself.

Later,

Jed.
