Description

Here is my take on the Crab Nebula after what seems like forever collecting data. Started imaging in mid-November and it's been a cloud fest ever since then! LOL! Anyways, I finally collected enough data to put an image together. Decide to go with a Bicolor palette and RGB stars, as this was the most appealing to me. Also, I didn't have to collect SII data. Which was a bonus considering the clouds. Hope you enjoy it!
