Description

The Crab Nebula is a super nova remnant from a star that exploded in recent human history, observed in China and Japan in 1054. I imaged it in 2022 using my IDAS NBZ filter, and wanted to see how it would look on moonless nights with no filter. In many ways I prefer the filtered version, as it shows more texture, but I like this one too.
