Description

M1, the crab nebula, was the first image of an astronomical object I saw as a kid in a book (Probably „Was ist was“). I have been interested in astronomy ever since. So I really looked forward to imaging it. After months of rain I had two clear nights, albeit with bad seeing.

This is „second light“ for my first (new to me) CCD camera and first light for the 3nm filters: What can I say, the data is a joy to work with, much easier than the CMOS. A very nice combination.
