[APML] OT: Psychedelic Crab?



Ron Wodaski suggested this was a psychedelic crab. In reality it is just a Crab shot through [SII], Ha and [OIII] filters.
 
It has a very odd appearance though: another one that looks very very different through these filters.
 
I was only able to shoot one exposure of 45 minutes through each of the three filters. I hope to be able to get more data in the near future. We also had some light fog rolling in and out during the shot, so there's a bit more sky glow than I would normally expect.
 
I used my C14 and shot this at prime focus which works out to be around f/12.46
