Is it possible to indicate the location of the M1 pulsar within this image?

With the narrowband imaging, stars have most of their light eliminated. You can't easily see the pulsar in the image. But it's very close to the crosshairs I've added here.

As you say, it is not easily seen, but I've pin-pointed the 16.5 magnitude pulsar.
For scaling reasons, I cropped the original image slightly.

Also, it may be pure mental projection but I perceive several 'bow shock waves' near the center of the M1 debris.

Or the Turquoise Nebula. It's not a mess to me, it's beautiful. And our Solar System would be less than a dot within it. Amazing what comes out of a star.

I think a more appropriate name would be The Sponge Nebula.

[b] Explanation: [/b] This is the mess that is left when a star explodes. The [url=http://messier.seds.org/more/m001_h2.html]Crab Nebula[/url], the result of a [url=http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/objects/supernovae1.html]supernova[/url] seen in [url=http://messier.seds.org/more/m001_sn.html]1054 AD[/url], is filled with [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VnJ9pRR8-8]mysterious[/url] filaments. The [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap980208.html]filaments[/url] are not only tremendously complex, but appear to have [url=http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1995ApJ...454L.129F]less mass than expelled[/url] in the original supernova and a [url=http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998PASP..110..831N]higher speed than expected[/url] from a free explosion. The [url=https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic0515a/]featured image[/url], taken by the [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap950810.html]Hubble Space Telescope[/url], is presented in three colors chosen for [url=http://s9.favim.com/orig/131225/cat-galaxy-glasses-Favim.com-1181244.jpg]scientific interest[/url]. The [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_Nebula]Crab Nebula[/url] spans about 10 [url=http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/questions/question19.html]light-years[/url]. In [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPxLVgTIAbk]the nebula[/url]'s very center lies a [url=http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~pulsar/Education/Sounds/sounds.html]pulsar[/url]: a [url=http://www.astro.umd.edu/~miller/nstar.html]neutron star[/url] as massive as the [url=https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/solar-system/sun/in-depth/]Sun[/url] but with only the size of a [url=http://www.cityofhoughton.com/]small town[/url]. The [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap020920.html]Crab Pulsar[/url] rotates about 30 times each second.
