Late in December I took an image of the Crab Nebula. This object is a fun target. I enhanced the Luminance exposure with an H-Alpha exposure before doing an RGB combine. I have attached a mid size image, but a full size image and exposure and processing details are at:

Scope was my C8 at f/8, Camera was the Artemis285. HA:L:R:G:B - 42:20:8:8:8

Pretty amazing, Jim. I don't recall seeing so much fine detail on the filaments.

Hi Jim... GREAT SHOT!!! The detail in the filaments is truly excellent.
