Crab Nebula

[chuckp]

I tried something different on this shot. I combined a HOO processed image and a SHO processed image and used the luminosity blending mode in Affinity Photo. I also used starnet 2 in Pixinsight to remove the stars and processed the nebula seperately. This was taken with the Celestron 9.25 edge with a 0.7 reducer. This is a total of 5 hours from my bortle 8 back yard.

Thanks Mike, I was really surprised on how much better it got after trying this.

That looks more like a spider web nebula. Crisp and detailed. Nicely done.

Thanks Jameel, it always puzzled me on why they call it the crab nebula.
