[AZ-Observing] The Crab Nebula - Enhanced Hydrogen Comparison

HI all,
 
I present to you here the best shot Ive taken so far with my 12.5" newt of the 
crab, M1.  The last time I shot this was when I had my ST7E, a long time 
ago. As you know, the crab nebula is basically a continuum in the core, 
surrounded by the emission filamentary structure.  This is much like a spiral 
galaxy, so I applied my enhanced hydrogen technique normally used on galaxies 
to this enigmatic object with great success.  As usual, I spent a great deal of 
care making sure that the final colors are as true as possible to the original 
calibrated RGB colors.  The results bring out the lovely blue halo that rims 
the outside of the filaments as well.  I hope you enjoy this image as much as I 
did producing it:
