M1- The Crab REV 3

Thia is an image I did back in 2011 and reprocessed to post in Astrobin. Now is the perfect time for a new trying if the weather allow it. I noted back then:

This is the final image with 15 frames of 15 minutes stacked. I am happy by now as M-1 is already too low in my latitude for a new trying. Next year I am going to start earlier to be possible to capture narrow band subs to mix with the LRGB image.

This is actually a Supernova remnant. It is 6500 light years distant from Earth, has apparent size 8' x 4' and magnitude 8.4. In the core of the nebula there is a rotating neutron star.

The filaments in the nebula are moving outward at over 1000Km/sec.

A word about **Rev 2**

Re-processing in Pixinsight, aiming a more natural stars size as well as to decrease the background noise. Also some more detail has been pushed on the delicate tendrils of the nubula.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
