Description

A supernova remnant in the constellation of Taurus. It is believed that this was first observed by Chinese astronomers in 1054. I was hoping to image this via my LX90 8" SCT and get a much more detailed and larger image of M1 but tracking issues forced me to drop back to using my ST80.
