The Crab nebula is now passing overhead nicely. Here is an image taken with my 7" refractor and STL11K camera, cropped and upsized. H-a data was combined with LRGB color data.

I love the image Rolando. I generally don't think of going after the Crab with a refractor. But then again, I don't have a 7 inch refractor.

Nice job.

Very cool, nice details.

Rolando,

Very sweet result!

What focal length do you have with the 7" refractor? Any possibility of going after it with your Mak-Cass (even if its only h-alpha)?

Hi Rolando,

Very cool! Looks almost like a narrow-band palette!

Very sharp. You have the right tools for the job.

I do have questions about the colors and the way the H-a was mixed in. (Your image is definitely "purpler" than some.) Are you willing to share exposure times and mixing ratios?

Thanks,
Charlie
