The Crab Nebula (M1) First time Meridian Flip. OSC

Hi all Just a quick image of the Crab Nebula (M1) a Test shot.
This was the first time doing a Meridian Flip.
I always point my telescope West or North East.
The south has a little Light pollution from the City of York which is about 7 miles from my location.
I did two images that night first was the Cocoon Nebula 5 Hours, I can’t get the processing right on the Cocoon work in process.
Back to M1 Time 05:17 the moment of truth waiting for the flip to happen 6 minutes later it did a very successful flip.
The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred in 1054 AD seen by the Chinese.
Then rediscovered by Charles Messier, a French astronomer in 1758 while searching for comets.
The explosion was so bright that it was visible during the day for several weeks.
Not the best M1 as I mention testing how to do a Meridian flip for the first time.

Thank you for looking at this image.

Stay safe and Clear Skies. Tam

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
