Description

Messier 1 – The Crab NebulaA bright nebula that can be observed during the winter months in Taurus. Certain people nickname it the “red eye of the bull”.A colorful target. I captured it last December (quite cold…). 4 hours of exposure with a monochrome camera and LRGB filters.This one for me has been quite a challenge. I have tried many years to capture a decent shot, but only succeeded last year, even at that my data was not all that good. A lot of post-processing involved with this one.
