The night was really bad. I was going to image with the EOS but couls not get the webcam to work on one cable, as I usually do, it needed both. Hence a quick switchover of equipment in the dark.

The image could have been a lot better. It was foggy, wet, dew on everything, hairdryer working at full pelt.

10x480 secs SX Ha, cls 0.8 fr

It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!

Nice image, im suprised you got anything out of last night, the sky glow i saw put me off of even attempting any imaging, I've tried crab nebula before but came up empty handed, i think it might be the poor Ha sensitivity of the EOS
