M1, The Crab Nebula
The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova that was seen in 1054. This cloud of expanding gas is now about 8 light years across, and is about 6500 light years from Earth. This image was obtained using the Seestar S50 Smart Telescope. The sky was Bortle 7, with high humidity, haze and passing clouds. While collecting the hour of exposures, there was a Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Base, 90 miles to the east. The engine plumes from the first and second stages were clearly visible.
