Description

The Crab Nebula has been one of those targets I've wanted to image for a long time, I mean it is Messier #1, but for some reason or another its taken me until now to get around to it. I was surprised at how bright this actually is and how quickly the images came to fruition. On a particularly cold night, when even the Jackery box died while plugged in due to thermal reasons, I was able to get 2.5 hours on it with the Edge 8 and NBZ filter and it at least ran until about 2 a.m. Happy with how it turned out for being relatively light on exposures. :-)
