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

M1 The Crab Nebula Pulsar, SuperNova Remnant.QHY8 cooled color CCD Camera + 16"Homemade Newtonian telescope,.A 90 minute exposure .
In the year 1054 A.D., Chinese astronomers were startled by the appearance of a new star, so bright that it was visible in broad daylight for several weeks. Today, the Crab Nebula is visible at the site of the "Guest Star." Located about 6,500 light-years from Earth, the Crab Nebula is the remnant of a star that began its life with about 10 times the mass of our own Sun. Its life ended on July 4, 1054 when it exploded as a supernova. In this image, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has zoomed in on the center of the Crab to reveal its structure with unprecedented detail. The Crab Nebula data were obtained by Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 in 1995. Images taken with five different color filters have been combined to construct this new false-color picture. Resembling an abstract painting by Jackson Pollack, the image shows ragged shards of gas that are expanding away from the explosion site at over 3 million miles per hour. The core of the star has survived the explosion as a pulsar, visible in the Hubble image as the lower of the two moderately bright stars to the upper left of center. The pulsar is a neutron star that spins on its axis 30 times a second. It heats its surroundings, creating the ghostly diffuse bluish-green glowing gas cloud in its vicinity, including a blue arc just to its right. The colorful network of filaments is the material from the outer layers of the star that was expelled during the explosion. The picture is somewhat deceptive in that the filaments appear to be close to the pulsar. In reality, the yellowish green filaments toward the bottom of the image are closer to us, and approaching at some 300 miles per second. The orange and pink filaments toward the top of the picture include material behind the pulsar, rushing away from us at similar speeds. The various colors in the picture arise from different chemical elements in the expanding gas, including hydrogen (orange), nitrogen (red), sulfur (pink), and oxygen (green). The shades of color represent variations in the temperature and density of the gas, as well as changes in the elemental composition. Kris Davidson (U. Minn.) led the research team of William P. Blair (JHU), Robert A. Fesen (Dartmouth), Alan Uomoto (JHU), Gordon M. MacAlpine (U. Mich.), and Richard B.C. Henry (U. Okla.) in the collection of the HST data. The Hubble Heritage Team created the color image from black and white data processed by Dr. Blair.

I've recalibrated and stacked and worked this image a few times since I first attempted it. Each time I come back with one more bit of knowledge.
This time, I'm still calibrating with Maxim. What's new is that I'm calibrating with 2C increments. Thus, for the 10 lights, there's two sections for calibration. This significantly reduces the over and undercorrection that I was seeing before. Also, it makes the post process a lot easier to manage.
Same details as before:

"From this site in August 1948, two pioneering radio
astronomers, John Bolton and Gordon Stanley, from the
Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in Sydney,
determined for the first time the source of radio waves from outside our solar system. The astronomical world was
astonished by this surprising opening of a new window on
the universe.
The expedition gathered data at Pakiri on the east coast,
then moved to this World War II Radar Station. Success was ensured because of a reliable electricity supply for their
trailer-mounted sea-cliff interferometer (used at 100 MHz)
and a west-facing horizon from the high cliffs.
Bolton and Stanley identified radio signals from three 'radio
stars' - Taurus A, Centaurus-A and Virgo-A. Taurus-A is the
remnant of the famous Crab Nebula, a supernova which
exploded in 1054 AD. The other two sources of 'cosmic
noise' are associated with galaxies outside the Milky Way.
Modern radio astronomy made a big leap forward with this discovery at Piha and this is acknowledged with this marker unveiled on 28th January 2011 by Auckland Council."

The Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant in the constellation Taurus. 200-mm SCT, L-eXtreme filter, 2.1 h of exposure under 90% moon and 6.2 h of exposure under a half moon.
The Crab Nebula, (M1 or NGC 1952), some 6,500 light-years from Earth, is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula. It was first observed as a bright new star by Chinese astronomers in 1054. It's some 6,500 light-years from Earth and can be seen in the constellation of Taurus. Not an easy target from north London but on a clear night it is just about observable with a small scope.
According to the folklore of the Celts and other ancient cultures, Halloween marked the midpoint between the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice on the astronomical calendar, a spooky night when spirits of the dead spread havoc upon their return to Earth.
Nowadays, Halloween is primarily a time for children to dress in costume and demand treats, but the original spirit of Halloween lives on in the sky in the guise of the Crab Nebula.
A star's spectacular death in the constellation Taurus was observed on Earth as the supernova of 1054 A.D. Now, almost a thousand years later, a superdense neutron star left behind by the stellar death is spewing out a blizzard of extremely high-energy particles into the expanding debris field known as the Crab Nebula.
This composite image uses data from three of NASA's Great Observatories. The Chandra X-ray image is shown in light blue, the Hubble Space Telescope optical images are in green and dark blue, and the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared image is in red. The size of the X-ray image is smaller than the others because ultrahigh-energy X-ray emitting electrons radiate away their energy more quickly than the lower-energy electrons emitting optical and infrared light. The neutron star, which has the mass equivalent to the sun crammed into a rapidly spinning ball of neutrons twelve miles across, is the bright white dot in the center of the image.

The Crab Nebula (M1 or NGC 1952) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus. It lies in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, at a distance of approximately 6,500 light years away from Earth. The supernova was first recorded recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054, The nebula was the first astronomical object identified with a historical supernova explosion. At the center of the nebula lies the Crab Pulsar, a neutron star 28–30 kilometres across with a spin rate of 30.2 times per second, which emits pulses of radiation from gamma rays to radio waves.

A composite of 45xL 15xR 30xG 45xB forty five second exposures thru my Meade LX200 telescope using my Meade DSI Pro imager. The individual captures were calibrated using bias frames, dark frames and flat frames and then stacked and processed using Stark Labs' nebulosity and Adobe's Photoshop software. The telescope was guided during the exposures by an Orion 80mm Short Tube telescope with a Meade DSI imager driven by Stark Lab's PHD autoguiding software. All light frames were taken through a set of Meade LRGB CCD filters. Light frames were imaged on November 2, 2008 between 1:29 AM and 4:15 AM near Ellenville, NY. The total exposure was 101 minutes.
