There are many worlds and many systems of Universes existing all at the same time, all of them perishable.

M1 CRAB NEBULA
Submitted by ebfaulkner6a on Thu, 02/02/2012 - 5:26pm.
Taken 2-1-12 from my back yard thru my 111EDT using the Starlight Xpress SXVR-H9. Wanted to get two hours imaging in, but the guider started to give me problems after 8 5min images. Of the eight 6 were good due to the guiding. This image of the Crab Nebula is 6-5min images combined in MaximDL and slight process in Photoshop CS4. Located in the constellaion Taurus M1 was created from a supernova explosion in July 1054 (fireworks anyone?). It is 6,500 years away and 11 lys across.

Pelican Nebula-Red

With the weather keeping us from the much desired clear skies, need to fill in the open time space by playing with our images. This is the Pelican in Ha (Red) with some green and blue adjustments. Nothing else to do but experiment in Photoshop.
