Description

This image was taken through a 72mm refractor and an ASI1600MM-Pro. The image is composed of 20, 180-second subs taken through the Ha filter and 10, 180-second subs taken through the R, G and B filters. Total exposure time is 2.5 hours.

I'm surprised this came out as well as it did through the 72mm scope, given its apparent size. I will return to this object in December using the 127mm refractor for a better view.

Description: Doubled the exposure time to one hour per R, G and B channels and two hours for Ha using the ASI1600 and 72mm refractor. The additional exposure time brings out more internal detail in the Crab.
