Pat Prokop's Heavenly Backyard Astronomy #1

This is my first edition of Heavenly Backyard Astronomy. In this video, my target was the CRAB NEBULA in the constellation Taurus the Bull which is the remnant of an exploding star (supernova) that occurred in 1054. What we see today is the outgassing of that explosion. It is about 6,500 light years away at a visual magnitude of 8.4. This image was captured Jan 13, 2018, in my backyard using 86 X 60second exposures at an ISO of 3200 on a Canon T2i using an Orion CLS (City Light Suppression) filter attached to the prime focus of my Celestron 11” Edge HD f/10 telescope. Outside temperature was in the upper 30s. My plan is to produce a series of these videos over the next several years ... one or two (or more) per month.
