Just testing my skills in photoshop, this is simply a double exposure :) I kind of like how the pupil is almost like a black hole or something.
I also have a thing for circular borders now. Not sure why

[Description adapted from NASA APOD: the Crab is now known to be a supernova remnant, an expanding cloud of debris from the explosion of a massive star. The violent birth of the Crab was witnessed by astronomers in the year 1054. Roughly 10 light-years across today, the nebula is still expanding at a rate of over 1,000 kilometers per second]
I'm getting ready for an astro-trip on the next new moon, so I decided to dust the ol' SCT off and do a couple of practice runs...

/*Photo has been replaced with one that I used a defringing tool on (LR4), the chromatic aberration in the previous versions was absolutely horrible. However, most of the CA was in purple and unfortunately some of the tentricles were also purple, so I lost a little color in the nebula but not much considering.*/
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant, all that remains of a tremendous stellar explosion. Observers in China and Japan recorded the supernova nearly 1,000 years ago, in 1054...

Installed over the fireplace at a different angle and renamed Crab Nebula, outer space mosaic, dichroic glass, stained glass, crystals, pearls, semi-precious stones, vintage costume jewelry. Note the crab with one larger claw, and even antenna, all unplanned and noticed by hubby after installation. I meant for this to be a spiral galaxy and I wasn't happy with it, but I am happy with it as The Crab.
Edited Chandra Space Telescope image of the Crab Nebula. Spitzer Space Telescope version.
A new composite image of the Crab Nebula features X-rays from Chandra (blue and white), optical data from Hubble (purple), and infrared data from Spitzer (pink). Chandra has repeatedly observed the Crab since the telescope was launched into space in 1999. The Crab Nebula is powered by a quickly spinning, highly magnetized neutron star called a pulsar, which was formed when a massive star ran out of its nuclear fuel and collapsed. The combination of rapid rotation and a strong magnetic field in the Crab generates an intense electromagnetic field that creates jets of matter and anti-matter moving away from both the north and south poles of the pulsar, and an intense wind flowing out in the equatorial direction.

Still fiddling with AstroTech alignment, slowly closing in. I am using this field as a test area as it has a fairly even star distribution and is near the meridian at a convinient time of night. Several different adjustments in this series so this is an averaged result of a number of misalignments, but it all seems to average out :) This was shot without using any light polution filtration which I have not done for some time, not for any particular reason other then I seem to have put it in a safe place, so safe I cannot seem to locate it /sigh

The Crab Nebula is the remnant from the supernova observed by Chinese astronomers in the year 1054. At it's center is a neutron star roughly the mass of the sun, but squished down to the size of a city.
29x 30 second exposures shot with a Canon T1i DSLR at ISO1600 on a 190mm F5.3 Skywatcher Maksutov Newtonian telescope. 14.5 minutes total exposure time.
I shot 54x 30 second exposures, and tossed out nearly half of them due to my unsteady LXD75 mount not tracking the stars sufficiently.
It was shot using the camera's long exposure dark frame noise reduction. I need to shoot some flat frames to remove the vignetting.
I had to wait till midnight until it was clear enough to take this photo and was hoping to get 50 Subs (lights) but I screwed up on the first 25 as I didn't realise the optics were misting up and after getting the hair dryer to work I could only manage 25 before the cloud set in.

What would the Chinese Astronomers have seen on July 4, 1054 A.D., when the star that ultimately became the Crab Nebula, (M1) blew itself apart in a supernova explosion?
I created* this image from a photo I took in the Arizona desert, near Portal, Arizona... adding what I believe would have been a fair representation of how the scene would have appeared. Compare this shot with the adjacent, unaltered photo.
* I do a public astronomy program called "Spectacular Astronomy" that mentions the Chinese Astronomers and what they saw in 1054. I really wanted to show my audience what the scene may have looked like.

I'm trying out a free trial license for PixInsight, which appears to have far more capabilities than DeepSky Stacker ... and is that much harder to figure out.
An example of a cool tool in PixInsight is the background tool, which removed nearly all of the spot-light vignetting that was in the original due to not using flat files or my light pollution filter.
(I crudely hid the problem in the original by setting the black point in the brighter part of the noise)
Capture details are available in the first Crab Nebula photo with the same date in the title.
I'm sure there's a hundred things wrong with this as it's my first attempt with PixInsight and I used 30 second sub-exposures, but at this point it's way over my head, I'm happy to have gotten this out of the software thanks to some newbie tutorials on PixInsight's forum.
Edited Webb Space Telescope image of the Crab Nebula.
Original caption: The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has gazed at the Crab Nebula in the search for answers about the supernova remnant’s origins. Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) have revealed new details in infrared light. Similar to the Hubble optical wavelength image released in 2005, with Webb the remnant appears to consist of a crisp, cage-like structure of fluffy red-orange filaments of gas that trace doubly ionised sulphur (sulphur III). Within the remnant’s interior, yellow-white and green fluffy ridges form large-scale loop-like structures, which represent areas where dust particles reside. The area is composed of translucent, milky material. This material is emitting synchrotron radiation, which is emitted across the electromagnetic spectrum but becomes particularly vibrant thanks to Webb’s sensitivity and spatial resolution. It is generated by particles accelerated to extremely high speeds as they wind around magnetic field lines. The synchrotron radiation can be traced throughout the majority of the Crab Nebula’s interior. Locate the wisps that follow a ripple-like pattern in the middle. In the centre of this ring-like structure is a bright white dot: a rapidly rotating neutron star. Further out from the core, follow the thin white ribbons of the radiation. The curvy wisps are closely grouped together, following different directions that mimic the structure of the pulsar’s magnetic field. Note how certain gas filaments are bluer in colour. These areas contain singly ionised iron (iron II). [Image description: An oval nebula with a complex structure against a black background. On the oval's exterior lie curtains of glowing red and orange fluffy material. Interior to this outer shell lie large-scale loops of mottled filaments of yellow-white and green, studded with clumps and knots. Translucent thin ribbons of smoky white lie within the remnant’s interior, brightest toward its centre.]

Edited Chandra Space Telescope x-ray image of the Crab Nebula and how it looks optically, superimposed.
Original caption: In commemoration of the 15th anniversary of NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, four newly processed images of supernova remnants dramatically illustrate Chandra's unique ability to explore high-energy processes in the cosmos. The images of the Tycho and G292.0+1.8 supernova remnants show how Chandra can trace the expanding debris of an exploded star and the associated shock waves that rumble through interstellar space at speeds of millions of miles per hour. The images of the Crab Nebula and 3C58 show how extremely dense, rapidly rotating neutron stars produced when a massive star explodes can create clouds of high-energy particles light years across that glow brightly in X-rays.

This photo shows a three colour composite of the well-known Crab Nebula (also known as Messier 1), as observed with the FORS2 instrument in imaging mode in the morning of November 10, 1999. It is the remnant of a supernova explosion at a distance of about 6,000 light-years, observed almost 1,000 years ago, in the year 1054. It contains a neutron star near its center that spins 30 times per second around its axis (see below). In this picture, the green light is predominantly produced by hydrogen emission from material ejected by the star that exploded. The blue light is predominantly emitted by very high-energy ("relativistic") electrons that spiral in a large-scale magnetic field (so-called synchrotron emission). It is believed that these electrons are continuously accelerated and ejected by the rapidly spinning neutron star at the centre of the nebula and which is the remnant core of the exploded star. This pulsar has been identified with the lower/right of the two close stars near the geometric center of the nebula, immediately left of the small arc-like feature, best seen in ESO Press Photo eso9948. Technical information: ESO Press Photo eso9948 is based on a composite of three images taken through three different optical filters: B (429 nm; FWHM 88 nm; 5 min; here rendered as blue), R (657 nm; FWHM 150 nm; 1 min; green) and S II (673 nm; FWHM 6 nm; 5 min; red) during periods of 0.65 arcsec (R, S II) and 0.80 (B) seeing, respectively. The field shown measures 6.8 x 6.8 arcminutes and the images were recorded in frames of 2048 x 2048 pixels, each measuring 0.2 arcseconds. North is up; East is left. #L
