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.

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.
