Description

This narrowband image of the Crab Nebula was created from frames captured from late November to 20 December 2023.  Although surprised at how bright the colors are, I chose to keep them and to enhance the contrast of the image.   Processing in PixInsight, following pre-processing via WBPP, included creating stars and starless images and then recombining after adjusting both separately.  Final adjustment was made in Photoshop.   The images were gathered with a 130mm APO refractor through a field flattener and 3nm narrowband filters to a ZWO 2600 monochrome camera.  Only mild HDR and sharpening, as well as curves adjustments were applied to the starless image.
