Very cool Tom! I sure like the detail of this one. The Crab nebula is on my list to shoot one of these days. Not sure I have enough reach for it right now though.

Tom,

You obviously have a lot of good data/images, and a long history in the hobby. Would love to hear more about how you got started, your progression, and what you are still doing with it these days, if you would care to share that sometime.

Such a fun target. I have not tried for this yet, as I need my larger scope to be set up. The internal details and colors are very nice on this image. I think seeing this object imaged brings a lot of folks into the world of astrophotography.
