Description

Messier 1, the Crab Nebula, was probably the first ever photographed nebula - in 195 by Sir Isaac Roberts. He used his 500mm refractor and a full frame plate camera with 1 hour exposure time. It was also most likely the first nebula which was considered to be a SN remnant.
Due to bad weather at my location, I could currently only rework old data - in this image, I combined date from 2021 and 2022 - the first one was a set of raw files from my ES APO 127/952 FCD with an ASI183MC camera and the later one, taken in February 2022, was taken on the same telescope but with an Atik4000m with deep sky RGB filters.
