Description

Revision 4-24-22  Slight increase in structural detail and contrast.

This image selected for NASA's APOD December 24, 2021

This image of "The Crab nebula" is a combined/blend of LRGB and SHO data, representing about 18 hours of image data.   This is about as much as I can squeeze out of this data...  I may re-image this object in the coming weeks.

Imaged over two nights from the Sagrada Observatory, Las Cruces, NM
Telescope:  24" f8 RC   Camera:  FLI_PL-09000  Gen II and 3nm Filters
