Description

I imaged the Crab Nebula and I'm glad the way it turned out. The seeing was fairly good and I was able to capture some nice detail in the knots and filaments. The nebula really stands out against the background, and the edge is very sharp which surprised me. It is amazing to think this nebula is only 1000 years old and people long ago witnessed the supernova which formed it.
