Description

My first shot at the Crab Nebula (M1). Between rain and clouds and moon, winter is pretty miserable around here for astrophotos. But a rare clear night allowed 5 hours (about 4 used) on M1 with the 12RC/2600MM combo. Not great seeing for the long FL. Processed starless then low-stretch stars added back in. Able to pull out a few tendrils.
