This image of the Crab is a repeat of last years. This one was done just after modification of my Digital Rebel.  I think it shows the tendrils much better that last years image

although a years experiece has probably also helped.

The intense storm of emmission near the central pulsar is much better resolved.

The Crab is one of my favorite objects to image.

See my astroblog for this date for a more detailed comparison of the performance of the modified Rebel.
