Description

According to Wikipedia the nebula got its name after the 3rd Earl of Ross looked through a telescope in 1842 and saw a crab. Not sure what he'd been drinking as it looks nothing like a crab.
I managed to largely fix a long standing camera vibration issue by strapping an inexpensive ankle weight around the camera., and so I could run the camera back at full power down at -15C
