Normally when showing deep sky objects they are shown in detail and close up using a telescope but here we take a step back and see a wider context view of the supernova remnant, M1, the Crab Nebula and it's location near to Zeta Tauri, the brightest star in the view. Two fainter stars guide the way to M1 in a shallow arc, to the upper left and almost above Zeta but in this view you can still see the overal shape of the nebula. It was taken on November 15th 2022 using the Canon R6 camera with 100-400mm lens set at 400 and ISO 10000, stack of 21 x 10 seconds exposures with the setup mounted on a Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i tracking mount.
