Description

This is my first ever "real" photo of the beautiful and famous Crab Nebula. I say real because while I have photographed this deep sky object previously, I only had about 1 hour of exposure time on it resulting in a terrible final stack. 

I'm pretty excited to finally add the first ever cataloged Messier object ever to my portfolio of deep sky objects.

It's tiny celstial wonders such as these that drive my desire for a higher focal length telescope, however, with the amount of excellent subframes I had collected I was able to reveal some of the faint inner web looking structure.
