ASTRO: Crab Nebula (updated image)

I shot this just after the Moon set this morning. Seeing was pretty good as
Sirius was not twinkling too bad as it rose. Taken through a C-11 @ f/6
with a 400D @ 800asa. (4 x 5min)


Joe

That is better than the first one. Here seeing started lousy and got
worse as the night wore on. Don't think I got anything useful, just a
lot of lost sleep. Very hazy with high winds tonight. Power keeps
going on and off so not a night to image.

Is that the full size image? Looks like it could stand up to larger
scale. What size pixels does that camera have?

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Nice color with the detail... also a good example of off axis aberation and
how the center is free of it.

Nice image Joe. Colour both of the nebula and the stars looks perfect.
