Description

The first time I ever tried to shoot the Crab Nebula with my iOptron Photron 150 RC.  Again challenged with collimation and focusing issues, but at least I can recognize it as the Crab Nebula.  I took the picture on a lark, a short two-hour exposure.  Something about it, however, fascinates me.  It looks like a model or an alien intelligence floating in the void from an old episode of Lost in Space.  Enjoy!
