Description

I've attempted the M1 Crab Nebula several time but being such a small target makes it a hard one to get a good quality image on.  I think I finally have the HD11 dialed in with OAG guiding and all the tools needed for easy Light Frames, In-line Focusing and Rotation.

M1 is very interesting to me because of the history of Humans actually seeing the birth of this nebula and how people have shown that over time it has changed considerably.  My hope is to revisit this target yearly and try to get a series of changing nebula photos
