First target of the year is the Crab Nebula. This nebula was formed as a result of a super nova with pulsar winds. It’s about 6,500 light years from Earth and is bright enough to be seen with binoculars.
I was able to get about 5 nights of data. i would have aimed for more but diminishing returns kicked in and I can’t make much more progress. Here are my details:
Total integration: 22h 24m 30s
Integration per filter:
R: 1h 21m (54 × 90″)
G: 1h 15m (50 × 90″)
B: 1h 13m 30s (49 × 90″)
Hα: 6h 20m (76 × 300″)
SII: 5h 40m (68 × 300″)
OIII: 6h 35m (79 × 300″)
Equipment:
Telescope: Askar 130PHQ
Camera: Player One Poseidon-M Pro
Mount: Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro

I’m a total amateur. But this look so jellyfish’y. Is it really like that?
