M1
Supernova Remnant in Taurus
NGC 1952
Mag 8.4
The Crab Nebula
04/11/13
No feel of
shape in 12mm but nice bright glow and easy to locate
Well
defined in 25mm and probably more how Messier saw it
10/11/13
Very
washed out in the light of a just over first quarter Moon but
easy to locate
13/12/14
Large but hazy when first located in 25mm, patience and
adjusting of focus in 12mm reveals the dark cleft and other
structures
M1 sits in an otherwise quite dark FOV in 12mm, which is
probably just as well!
Tried both 7mm and 18mm, 7mm is hard to focus, especially on M1
where there are few stars in the FOV but during a few moments of
good seeing some structure was revealed
Just a nice sight in a crisp and clean FOV in 18mm
