Description

I have been collecting data (Ha, O3, RGB) for this target for the last two months, when the sky was clear of clouds and rain :-)

For this image I used the RGB data collected over two nights in January, total 6 hours.

Revision C Image combines optical data from Hubble (in red) and X-ray images from Chandra (in blue). Mouse over to compare the Crab Pulsar position.

Revision C is a cropped image of the Crab Nebula RGB rendition. Mouse over to compare the Crab Pulsar position with the Chandra image :-)
