  A lot of detailed filaments show up in this photo of the Crab nebula M1.

  This exposure was taken through a narrow band H-alpha filter to make

  the filamentary structure stand out somewhat. From Greg Bothun’s

  collection at the University of Oregon.

  M1 image from an anonymous source

  

  This image was obtained by Sven Kohle and Till Credner of

  Bonn, Germany

  on October 26, 1995 at 23:05 UT with the 1.23-meter telescope of the Calar Alto

  observatory, with a 2048×2048 CCD camera. It was composed from 3 exposures taken

  with different filters: B and V, 10 minutes each, H-alpha: 20 minutes.

  The image is copyrighted by the observers.

  NOAO image

  

  The Crab Nebula, remnant of the 1054 supernova in Taurus, is shown in

  a three-color reconstruction from BVR CCD images taken in 1993 with the

  1.1m Hall telescope at Lowell Observatory. The red image is dominated

  by H-alpha and [N II] emission, while the B and V filters include substantial

  mixtures of continuum and line emission. The pulsar is visible as the

  southwestern (lower right) of the two stars just southeast of the brightest

  nebulosity.
